Can It Change??
Can It Change?
I gotta ask you what’s going on
And wonder why this split has upon
Come to our world~unrest and war
Did all this start a long time before?
In1776 a contract wrote
Would give us all the right to vote
And stand a nation so delighted
But, if that’s so, why are we not UNITED?
Our leader some decisions make
May sometimes be a sad mistake
But as a nation, can we be
UNITED in our LIBERTY?
We lose our job, our house, we strife
Can’t we be thankful we have LIFE?
Is greed consuming heart and mind
That people have become unkind?
A Pollyanna I am not
If you think I care about what I’ve got
‘Cause life is more than money or things
We’re materialistic marionettes on strings
My friends cannot come home from this war
Because more battles they’re needed there for
But we complain about our fancy cars
While war has someone’s child behind bars
Can we UNITE as this country planned?
Can we do what’s right and take a stand?
Can we share our “stuff” to help a friend?
And fight for UNITY to the end?
Support this nation Father’s found
Let’s learn to share and with grace abound
You think you work harder, and judge so unfair
Can you take it all with you when God takes you there?
So, people, “Americans”~ stand up and speak
For those who are troubled, and those who are weak
If we show the enemy we are UNITED
Then we are a nation that SHOULD be EXCITED!
