I thought the world was getting smaller
With our nations growing closer through the years
Now I see the world is getting warmer
And people are divided by their fears
I thought that we were getting smarter 
Through science and all the things we’ve learned
But I see life is getting harder
And progress and books get burned

And I’m holed up, home alone by a TV screen
Feeling wound up by all the things I’ve seen
My mind is mixed up tryin’ to figure out what does it all mean
But made up I gotta change the scene
So won’t you save me from what I see
Show me that somebody can believe in me
Save me from what I see
Show me that somebody can care
Save me from what I see
Show me there’s a far better place to be
Save me from what I see
Show me there’s a cause to share

I thought our leaders sought to please us
Secure our peace, healthcare, rights and a living wage
Now I see how easy they deceive us
They’re putting walls up, they’re putting kids in a cage

And so it turns out it’s all bad news, but it’s all they got 
And it’s churned out, day after day, like it or not
I feel stressed out; it’s plain to see the politicians have lost the plot 
If I could bale out I’d be off in a shot 
So won’t you save me from what I see
Show me that somebody can believe in me
Save me from what I see
Show me that somebody can care
Save me from what I see
Show me there’s a far better place to be
Save me from what I see
Show me there’s a cause to share

Won’t you save me from what I see, from where we’re heading to 
Can’t we set ourselves free, forge a path that’s true? 
Save me from what I see when so much is so wrong
Let’s be just you and me somewhere we are strong

Save Me (From What I See)

Kylolus is the web-name of Oxfordshire-based songwriter Murray Edmunds. I am not a performing artist, but write original songs and instrumental music with rock or ethereal influences. I enjoy working with local singers and studio producers to develop these recordings, and I am always happy to hear from other artists seeking to adopt original material, or wanting to collaborate with the origination of melody or lyrics. 
Thank you for visiting my page; I hope that you will find some songs here that connect with you. Most are ballads that describe the everyday challenges, aspirations, regrets or triumphs that life brings to all of us. The lyrics are shown in the info section for each of the songs. Enjoy.
