"There's a reality of the way it should be and a reality of the way it is."

Looking out from my window
Staring out as the world goes
Is this the way life is supposed to be?
Gangs in the street are fighting
Some people think living is dying
An innocent life lets out a scream

Chorus:
This isn't the way life was supposed to be
It wasn't like this in the beginning
This isn't the way life was supposed to be
A world cries and in these eyes I see
A fallen world falling around me

Out here people are hating
Down the street someine is praying
Some shake their fists in agony
Crying out to the creator
It's gotta change sooner or later
But, things just seem to stay the same

Chorus

Looking out from my window
Staring out as the world goes
Trying to figure out in my mind
Why can't we start living in the hope that God's giving
The hope our hearts were meant to find
