Verse 1
The last days we are living in
This cold Earth’s giving us what we’re giving it
Death, destruction corruption of innocent
So many questions while answers are limited
Move for unity amongst all human beings
Seems foolish with roots so polluted b
Murdered our movements and those who created them
Drugs flooded the hood some still haven’t made it up
I pass living dead craving for crack rock
On all fours pebble press praying for jackpot
Stretched out on a hard strip mid day garments
Piss stained, begging so to bargain with change
Folks over lodged in rodent marred apartments
Playing cards to forget they are starving
Fake laughing straight to check cashing
Asking God for the faith to get past it
Chorus
Nobody knows but the Father, why we gotta go
Through the drama, try to stay strong but
Wonder how much can one take
I pray it will all make sense someday
(repeat)
Verse 2
Wolves in sheep wool cultivate hate
Relegate God to a warmonger
Suicidal bombers thought to martyrs, charmed by
Dishonorable father figures with livers full of power
Shrapnel showers the innocent, primitive methods
Of settling rifts never better the difference
Ending with only more death, more wounds
More poverty, more ornery goons living lawlessly
The, first sibling rivalry concluded with death
Thus, killing our brothers violently is rooted in flesh
A planet sick sad every man guns in his home
But our battle is not against blood, skin and bone
Our, enemies are spiritual entities
Enmity with what’s heavenly to nth degree
But, yet to see ways errors and we may never
‘Cause rather than love so many wanna make terror
Chorus
Verse 3
What means everything to you this minute
Might not exist by the time your next blink’s finished
Peoples pass possessions disappear in a year
Past times revered lose their appeal kid it’s real
But World still spins don’t pause for any man
God don’t flinch sits calm with steady hands
So many find life isn’t as advertised
Then, given advice to do that which satisfies
Me, I say aspire to die free, deny them who
Try to define how your two eyes see
Find discrepancies in what you believe, don’t follow blindly
And any fool following me get from behind me
Because I’m still tying to find me, some
Sense of direction ‘cause my reason
For living honestly is just ‘cause I am
Make the best of it I can, clutching my hands
Chorus
