Oh, sweet ignorance,
Won't you envelop me?
Won't you let me be
As the others who won't see?
Is this all were meant to be?
Why does the world's suffering have to be?Why, oh, why do they not see?
The carnage of this world baffles me.
Everybody wants to go to Heaven,
But no one wants to accept their brethren.
Everybody wants to be royalty.
But no one wants to reign with loyalty.
Peace wants to come to light,
But everyone just wants to fight.
Oh, sweet ignorance,
Won't you too envelop me?
