Forget About The World Gone Mad...

Forget all the shadowy figures
cast from the dark of past failure
Forget all the blind tourists
trying to be both accuser and bailor
Forget the outraged masses
that formlessly pool their rages
Forget the fickle dunces
that lead fools to call them sages

Forget about the world gone mad
Forget about all the lives never had
Forget about all that's just too sad

Leave the dead to their forgetting
Leave the wicked to regretting
Leave the mad to their abetting

Return to the light within you
Return to the truth you once knew
Return to the love of all you do

Remember the life you own
Remember what you are alone
Remember how you've grown

The shadows are bound to the dark
The tourists will go home in time
The mass-voices are all nervous bark
The words of fools are merely pantomime

Forget about the world gone mad
it isn't going to spin the other way
Forget about the world gone mad
it isn't more that a place to stay

Find the faithfully forgetful
and remember them in your graces
Bring relief to the fretful
but do not trade them places

Forget about the world gone mad
it certainly won't remember you
Don't let the universe make you sad
it certainly won't shed a tear for you

Remember the joy of your own life
Remember the illumination of living
Remember the elation that's still rife
Remember the world so giving

Forget about the world gone mad
Forget about the world gone
Forget about the world
Forget about mad
Forget
