World of Suffering
Words and music by Ken May 139 and Mark May

You can run, you can hide, you can look for shelter.
You can cheat, you can lie, you can beg or barter.
Make a plan, organize, but it's helter skelter in this world, this world of suffering.
You can hope, you can pray, you can plead for mercy.
You can drink night and day but you'll still be thirsty.
There's no peace and you'll find no security in this world, this world of suffering.
You guard against each possibility. You prepare to deal with any emergency.
You try to avoid life's calamities but all for nothing.
But while you're evading adversity, you've overlooked opportunity.
There's a lot you could learn from this world of suffering, world of suffering, world of suffering, world of suffering.
You look low, you look high, you peruse the scriptures.
Ask the stars in the sky but you get no answer.
Not a clue to say why there's the sick and crippled in this world, this world of suffering.
You think life's just a place to enjoy what's pleasing
And you can't bear to face that death has its season.
You can't see any plan nor any rhyme or reason in this world, this world of suffering.
But if God had made this Earth into a paradise and everywhere everything was always nice,
We would live a painless life but all for nothing.
So why don't you believe what God has made is wise and that faith is revealed to be freedom's price,
And that's what you need to learn from this world of suffering, world of suffering, world of suffering, world of suffering.
