This is dedicated to the great numbers of people who feel trapped in a very chaotic world.

Yesterday has come and gone, tomorrow is so near.
We have so many problems, so many things to fear.

9/11 shook the world, we tremble like a leaf. It was the manifestation of Osama Bin Laden's beef.

The chaos has us all stirred up, all the stress and strife. We haven't been so shook up since O.J. killed his wife.

We wonder how they let him go, some say he had finesse. It only proves our judicial system is a filthy mess.

The world has many troubled spots, five dollars i'm a bettin',
that Israel and Palestine's the cause of Armageddon.

The Christians are a praisin' God; Jews waiting on Messiah.
I just try to escape all this, and listen to Mariah.

I seem to find relaxation in her soothing voice. When it comes to relieving stress, her songs are my choice.
