Dear World

Dear World ever since we knew you
You placed on us such harsh decrees
Seems we bothered all your fathers before you
So we said lets leave We built a new home and did grow
And now you tell us to freeze
Tell me why are you so hard to please, Dear World
Well thank you for your inquisitions
And the gates you locked when we did flee
I know it bothers you that we've been blessed
And even more now that were free
But before you count us for the slaughter
See the writing up above
Were not sheep anymore were shepherds
And its you who are being judged
Well you can chase us just like Pharaoh
But if you were wise than you would see
The time isn't ticking for me but for you, Dear World

Well thank you for your sympathy
For the six million souls that were destroyed
You don't have to pretend anymore
You can attack us again with joy
You can condemn us up on the campus
And in the theater and the State
You can bring all the United Nations to seal our fate
But if your boycotts were really sincere
You should stop using our inventions and our cures
And return all the good that we have given you
Over these years, Dear World

Oh thank you for your crucifixion
And the many expressions of your love
How you've inspired us to build G-ds Kingdom with our blood
And now that we've reached the final stage
Your so bothered that your flying into a rage
Every tiny little house that we build Is on your front page
Just like the past it starts with lies
Then our existence you delegitimize
Then who would resist the solution that you finalize
Well were not the same people you once knew
We know your plan in fact were waiting for you
We'll split the ocean again and you can chase us part way through
We'll all be drowned and you'll claim victory
But if you were wise then you would see
The time isn't ticking for me, but for you, Dear World

Dear World you stood by in silence
As we were slaughtered in your lands
And you would stand by again today
And even lend a helping hand
I know it bothers you when we hit back
When we succeed despite each attack
Well maybe you bothered us too
Did you ever think of that?
I for one couldn't care less
If you choose to be cursed or to be blessed
You can sail on Noah’s ship
Or you can go down in your protest

For the final flood already began
To give a last chance to those who take a stand
And to save only those who ever lent a hand
For the kingdom will surely be built
And the devil will get his due
And all the angry bothered people
Let them come on through
Were finally doomed and all the fools agree
But if you were wise then you would see
The time isn't ticking for me, but for you
Dear World
