This song highlights the atrocities around the world that are still occurring in our times. For a world that has an increasing chasm between the rich and the poor, surely, we can stand up and protect the most innocent and helpless children from hunger, broken families, mental issues, wars and sexual mutilation – because our governments aren’t doing such a great job to help eradicate these atrocities.
Lyrics
I’M BLEEDING FOR THE WORLD - Words and Music by WANITA
Well, I’m bleeding for the world
All them wayward street girls
Big bad boys that push
Rocks and caps in black hoods.
Too many cryin’ children cryin’
Shut ‘em up with cola and french fries
Their mums and dads they’ll never know
Sallow cheeks and dirty clothes.
Well, I’m bleeding for the world
I don’t watch news anymore
Bombs strapped to someones chest
Starving kids in Yemen and all the rest.
Mutilated little girls
Oppressed to not feel
Stoned to death in a pit
But she’s just a woman so what the heck.
Well, I’m bleeding for the cause
Colours clans and fenced off floors
Ethnic cleansing to be the best
Civil wars and unrest.
Rubbish dumps and plastic waste
Footprints of all human race
We can’t afford to wait too long
So I guess I thought I’d put it all in a song.
…Well, I’m bleeding for the world….
