Linkin Park Approve This Message - Not The World We Promised

"Not the World We Promised" is a heartfelt song that speaks to the despair of witnessing global suffering and injustice while living in comfort. It’s a raw reflection on humanity’s lost compassion, the atrocities faced by people in Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine, China, and beyond, and the hope for a better future. This is a call to action for all of us to rebuild a world rooted in kindness, equality, and peace for the sake of future generations. Let this song be a voice for the voiceless and a reminder that we still have the power to change.

(Verse 1)
I sit here safe, beneath my roof,
The silence screams a bitter truth.
While far away, the skies are red,
And dreams dissolve where blood is shed.
I can’t reach them, I can’t mend their pain,
I’m just a ghost in this endless shame.
(Pre-Chorus)
Across the seas, across the lands,
The suffering spills from human hands.
From Gaza's cries to Sudan's scars,
The broken voices echo far.
(Chorus)
This is not the world we promised,
Not the dream we swore to keep.
We’ve lost our way, forgotten kindness,
While innocence drowns in endless grief.
We kill for power, we kill for gold,
In the 21st century, our hearts grow cold.
This is not the world I’ll leave behind,
Not for my daughters, not for mankind.
(Verse 2)
They’re starving while I feast on guilt,
A palace built on what others spilt.
The headlines fade, but the wounds remain,
How did we let it all decay?
The colors blur, no creed to blame,
Just human greed fueling this flame.
(Pre-Chorus)
In Ukraine’s fields, in China’s chains,
The sorrow flows through endless veins.
We pray for peace, yet light the fuse,
Why do we always have to lose?
(Chorus)
This is not the world we promised,
Not the dream we swore to keep.
We’ve lost our way, forgotten kindness,
While innocence drowns in endless grief.
We kill for power, we kill for gold,
In the 21st century, our hearts grow cold.
This is not the world I’ll leave behind,
Not for my daughters, not for mankind.
(Bridge)
We’ve traded humanity for treasure,
A soul for influence, a life for pleasure.
But tell me, what’s the cost of this throne?
A world of ashes, where love’s overthrown.
(Breakdown)
I scream at the silence, but it doesn’t hear,
The weight of their pain, it’s too much to bear.
We’ve drawn the lines, we’ve raised the walls,
We’ve built a world where compassion falls.
(Final Chorus)
This is not the world we promised,
Not the dream we swore to keep.
We’ve lost our way, forgotten kindness,
While innocence drowns in endless grief.
We kill for power, we kill for gold,
In the 21st century, our hearts grow cold.
This is not the world I’ll leave behind,
Not for my daughters, not for mankind.
(Outro)
But maybe, just maybe, it’s not too late,
To rewrite the ending, to shift the fate.
For every tear, for every cry,
There’s still a chance for love to rise.
