Let me ask you a question-
please, just let it soak in.
Are we truly justified
by this life that we live?
Born and raised, maybe adopted like me;
freely given all of these material things.
Is that just, is that fair?
People in Africa are breathing in poverty stricken air.
I’m sure you’ve heard the statistics,
Don’t need them repeated…
But come on, 19 million children are hungry and we’re still sitting here, ignoring it.
80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day; what if that was you, and everything was taken away?
People complaining daily,
upset when there’s no coffee.
While in Kenya, they use the rain for water.
Our society is always thinking of them after.
I believe that it’s time to give back
and start realizing the things that we lack.
$5 can give someone clean water for 200 days, is that surprising,what do you have to say?
I say, we are not justified.
I say, we should be challenged to try.
To try to give what others don’t have.
Instead of following the crowd, why don’t we start a new path?
A new era of hope, being able to sleep at night, knowing we did, what’s right.
Right, correct: such hard terms to define but forget the definition, what’s in your mind?
My mind is full of ideas:
ways to influence other areas.
Maybe giving,
or going out and doing.
I don’t know, you choose
whichever one will make you move.
Move towards a greater life-
towards justice and what is right.
So in the end we can come together
Shoulder to shoulder, brother to brother Knowing that we have each other.
