Story Behind The Song
As a father of two I am concerned for the damage we make to our planet and the world we leave for future generations. This is the inspiration for the song.
Song Description
The lyrics attempt to paint a picture of the perfect world we were given and how man has progressively damaged the earth leaving future generations with 'A Lesser World'. It has a GREEN and Christian based message calling for change.
The chorus should possibly be a childrens choir and there is also a possibility that a 7/4 time would work best on the verses (similar to All you need is love).

Lyrics
When the world was young
What a place we had
Such a crying shame
When it turns so bad
Will we ever learn
Will we even try
When the candle burns
We don't see the light
We walk on by
All that we have and give but still we lose
And no one else had it better
We say we live and learn yet still we choose
To leave the young with a lesser world
Giving what we take
Loving all that lives
Learning not to hate
Trying to forgive
We're given everything and everything we take
But tell me what do we gain leaving it all to fate
We could lose everything we have
What has it all been for if we leave a lesser world
