Song Description
I had been watching a disturbing documentary about poverty in South America. This song was generated from subsequent feelings of initial sadness and eventually a deep grief for the plight of so many beings on this planet.

Lyrics
Why can't I see what I'm feeling
Why must I feel what I see
There's nowhere left I can run to
The world is troubling me
It's troubling me
When will the narrow get wider
When will the straight cease to be
This dream is making me crazy
The world is troubling me
It's troubling me
Closing my eyes there's a space
Where the darkness never hides
Losing myself I surrender
To the deep inside
Can we forget all the answers
And see just what we will see
So much that we must be missing
The world is troubling me
It's troubling me
Closing my eyes there's a space
Where the darkness never hides
Losing myself I surrender
To the deep inside
Why can't I see what I'm feeling
Why must I feel what I see
There's nowhere left I can run to
The world is troubling me
It's troubling me
It's troubling me
It's troubling me
