If All the World Were Right
“The Prodigal seeks moral high-ground and complains about “social injustice” and the perceived “woes of humanity”… He sees “the world” as the problem instead of the “world within” as the cause of his suffering…
“This song is a bit of a deception… It reflects the way most people view the world… We tend to look to the external world as evidence to support our views of Life…or even self-worth… The world is a perception… And we each have a choice in shaping this perception… I look to Nature as a guide as it seems to be the Truth of how the world actually works rather than a “made up” world projected onto us by the Herd… When we get really honest with ourselves, we find we are responsible for our lives…and that most of our pain and suffering is based on our own egos and positons – the “desire to be right” or a “victim.” When a person discovers Humility, one can never really be hurt again…let alone be angry… This is an extremely helpful thought that normally takes a bit of time to digest…”

If all the world were right There’d be no monsters in my dreams at night No phantoms in the air Or famished faces on my stairs If all the world were right There’d be no shadows in my room tonight If all the world were right I’d know who to hold and who to fight If all the world were right there’d be no isolation or confusion There’d be no darkness in my mind I’d see beyond this grand illusion Come to some distinct conclusion And I might feel alright If all the world were right If all the world were right All the cannons would fall quiet tonight If all the world were right There’d be no jokes to take my Life If all the world were right There’d be no sadness just the shine of Life There’d be no tears to stain my eyes I’d see the world without conclusions I’d see my fears as illusions And I’d feel so light If all the world were right If all the world were right There’d be no monsters in my sights tonight No phantoms in my crosshairs I’d see the bombs I make are my own cares If all the world were right I’d see no sadness just the shine of this Life There’d be no tears to stain my eyes I’d see beyond this grand illusion I’d look at you without conclusion And I might feel alright If all the world were right I would feel alright if all the world were right I might feel alright, If I start with my own Life…
