For Chris Button

To make you cry was not my intention
Merely to make you think
For this is the world we have inherited my friend
We made this and we make it so
Good or bad it is ours

When I speak these words to you
Do not be offended
I also am to blame
For this world of shame we did create
And also the good

You and I, my friend are as one
Both creative and destructive
Learning and caring for each other
Getting it wrong and right
Good or bad it is ours

To make you cry was not my intention
Merely to make you think
For this is the world we have inherited my friend
We made this and we make it so
Good or bad it is ours

We are the product of ourselves
Today and yesterday will influence our tomorrow
What we say, what we think
It’s ours to choose what we do
Who we become

Happy or sad, it’s a choice
Live in anger or pursue righteousness
Accept what is and make it ours
Love and be happy together or not
We can choose to recover what was lost

To make you cry was not my intention
Merely to make you think
For this is the world we have inherited my friend
We made this and we make it so
Good or bad it is ours
