It's My World Too

Story Behind The Song

It was around 2005, I was growing frustrated by the news and things going on in the world, like testing nuclear bombs off the coast of France, and all the fighting after the 9/11. Meanwhile our own country was protesting something with the Tar Sands in Alberta and the pipeline. I got to thinking how unfair it is that us ordinary people have to sit back and swallow whatever they decide to do with our world, the oil barons being the controllers, building bombs and guns, all fighting because of coveted oil. There were many disasters around that time, like Fukashima and the oil disaster off the coast of US, and very weird weather patterns with severe freaky storms. I wanted to have my say, but I am such a small voice. So I wrote a song about it.

Lyrics

It's My World Too

When I think about it I want to cry
People all over the world will die
From the evil that dwells in the heart of mankind
Turns us weak, ignorant and blind
To our own mortality from pollution and war
Extinction of our planet won't even the score
I'm glad I'm not living a war over there
But the hate is spreading everywhere

(chorus)
It's my world too and they should ask me what to do
I'd tell them to stop all the fighting and killing
Love will heal us if only we're willing
I'd tell them to stop making their bombs and their guns
Before their hatred kills everyone
I'd tell them to stop hurting the earth, seas, and skies
With toxic waste that kills everything alive

What's wrong with the minds of those who believe
It's safe to test their bombs in the sea
Creatures in the oceans are dying of disease
The smog is so thick people can't breathe
We don't know what to do with our waste
Living in a world of technological haste
When they try to cover up their deadly mistakes
It's the lives of our children they so blindly take

(chorus)

We're dying of diseases, wars, and crime
Floods, earthquakes, fires, and famine
It's only the beginning of all our sorrow
It may be too late for a better tomorrow
The earth is distressed from the greenhouse effect
And no one has come up with a solution yet
But it rages me more when they hide the truth
Then we have no way to protect our youth

(bridge)
So many people
Frightened by what's going on
War, crime, hate, pollution, destruction
Tests our fate
So lets stop it before it's too late
(chorus)

(outro)
It's my world too
Ask me what to do
Together we can make it better
No more hate
No more war
No more bombs
No more guns
No more pollution
It's my world too
I only want to make it better for me and you
For me and for you.

Well the song has everything that it needs. It sounds like it could be on the radio right now if not already. I enjoyed the instrumentals the vocals for great and the arrangement was fantastic. Your recording was clear and notice or anything that would distract from the song well done.

Vocals are good! Especially the harmonies. I especially liked the lyrics and guitar licks. Good track, well done!!
