From the recording The Powers III (MONEY & FREEDOM CORRUPTS)
Draft:
Song 2: "Only Hope For The World" is the track that states that everyone should care because when they don't they could and should be looked at like someone who needs improvement. The Song was written because I have worked at many entry level jobs, but one person always stood out to me and that was one unfortunate person who did not have a lot of money. couldn't afford a house. one thing stood out though, he was always smiling at me and somehow always made me feel like I was a good dude. After a good couple months of not seeing him for a while I had found out that he had passed away. Unlike other situations like this one, I felt a really upset feeling almost like the feeling you get when someone close to you passes away. so if you see someone homeless try to give them something. the excuse "Get A Job" doesn't always work because unlike 15+ years ago Minimum Wage (Maximum Greed) doesn't cut living in a house anymore and if it does your almost 90% off the time barely slipping by with what you have. So the next time someone says "Get A Job" to those people think about a regular teenager trying to grow and pay for a house all by themselves. That Being Said sometimes these people just want money, which isn't good, but then still remember that Minimum Wage (Maximum Greed) still remains the same so at the end of the day remember that and doing it from nothing isn't as easy as already halfway there and actually still having a reason to keep going.
Polished With AI And Me(For The Professionals):
Song 2: “Only Hope For The World” is a statement on compassion, responsibility, and the consequences of indifference. The song challenges the idea that apathy is acceptable, suggesting that when people choose not to care, it reflects a need for growth and self-examination. This track was inspired by my time working various entry-level jobs. During that period, one individual stood out to me—someone who had very little, could not afford housing, and was clearly struggling financially. Despite this, he was always smiling. Every interaction with him made me feel seen and valued, as if I was doing something right simply by being kind. After not seeing him for several months, I learned that he had passed away. Unlike other similar situations, this loss affected me deeply—almost as if I had lost someone close to me. That experience stayed with me and became the emotional foundation of this song.
“Only Hope For The World” is also a response to the phrase “just get a job.” That argument ignores the reality of modern living. Unlike 15 or more years ago, minimum wage is often no longer enough to afford stable housing. Even for those who are employed, survival frequently means living paycheck to paycheck, constantly on the edge of financial collapse. The song asks listeners to reconsider their assumptions. Imagine a teenager or young adult trying to grow, survive, and pay for housing entirely on their own. While it is true that not every person asking for help has good intentions, it is equally true that starting from nothing is far more difficult than continuing from a place of stability. At the end of the day, this song is about empathy. It is a reminder that progress, dignity, and hope are much harder to maintain when the system is stacked against you—and that choosing compassion may be the smallest act, but also the most meaningful one.
Lyrics
Praying for the day we don't wake up crying and people can finally breathe
When good people win and bad people go to prison for all of the evil they breed
I'm praying for the day we don't wake up dying and people don't drown in the sea
When children are laughing they never know sadness the world is as it should be
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
For the world, for the world
Praying for the day the children can play without fearing for their lives
When schools are all safe no killers invade and people are loving and kind
I'm praying for the day when no one is afraid and there's no such thing as a war
There's peace in the street no one is hungry the homeless have all found a home
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
For the world, for the world
Praying for the day we don't wake up crying and people can finally breathe
When good people win and bad people go to prison for all of the evil they breed
I'm praying for the day when no one is afraid and there's no such thing as a war
There's peace in the street no one is hungry the homeless have all found a home
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
You and I, we're the only hope for the world
For the world, for the world
Static
Fuck
Static
Hope for the world
S-T-A-T-I-C
