#BlogElul 15: "learn"

Kids start new school year today.

Though true, these aren’t the six words I intended to share for this post. Rather, consider the following reflective lyrics – provided by Buckcherry – that speak to our responsibility to improve/repair/heal the world, and how it is still upon us to learn how:

Lately I've been thinking
About how we live our lives
There are too many conflicts
Cause no one sees eye to eye
And now the world is changing
We got polluted sand in the sea
We keep fighting for oil
And killing in the Middle East

This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn the destruction of our world
Our world

If all we have is one life
And your never coming back again
Would you look at what we done
As a beginning or an end
When I feel the sunlight
I wonder how much my world can take
We must do something now
With so many lives at stake

This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn the destruction of our world

This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To love inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world
Our world

I've said enough
I've had enough
I'm sick and tired of just waiting
A world corrupted
So out of touch
Our world how do I save it

How do I save it
How do I save it
How do I save it

This is our world
To make it last
We have to not repeat the past
Just step outside
When will we learn the destruction of our world

This is our world
We must give back
Instead of killing what we have
To love inside and spread the word
If you want to save our world

For Elul 15:

Learn – What will you teach this time?
