New World Order

We try and keep it secret
who it is we really are
rarely grasping the thought
that we're each a shining star,

and as the sun resurfaces
to bring upon the day
be mindful what you do and what you say.

In the afternoon the sun rises
to it's highest point up in the sky
and we all end up holding here
until the day we die,

and finally as the sun goes down
getting ready to start again
after the night a new day does begin.

Then the realization hits me
as the new day is unfurled
instead of sitting back in wait
we can shape tomorrow's world,

we need to work together
so it's the same world we all see
then this world can make a better you and me.
