What We Make of It ...
Therefore, you believe life has treated you unfair
Well let me tell you this… Who ever told ya?
It would be a piece of cake, lied to you,
that‘s the one you should hate
Nobody comes into this world, better than the next
We each have to earn our way, through those pearly gates
So you have issues, come talk to me, I’ll tell you stories
They aren’t going to be pretty, I can guarantee you that if
You think those boys, shipped overseas, legs blown off
Have to crawl on their knees, really believe that should
Have been their destiny….
Well think again, my friend, I got news for you
While you sit around, crying in your soup, sucking up
All the sympathy you can get… life goes on, people are dying
There is hunger all around us…
Homeless, helpless sick and poor, addiction, affliction, so much more
We all have choices we can make, get up do something, before it’s too late
Let’s join hands take a stand, make a difference in this great land
Cross the bridge one by one, what we make of it, can be done
So much anger you carry in your heart, I’m not saying it’s all your fault
I’d just like to see you put it away, Or use it in a more positive way…
You can let that hatred eat you alive, one day soon, you won’t survive…
Or you can turn it all around, make a difference that is profound…
Become a world changer, you just might see, a world come together
Existing in PEACE!
