Strolling Down the Tracks

Strolling down the tracks listening for the train

Standing in the desert waiting on the rain

Can you see it coming just look back again

Looking past the sand filled tracks at what needs to mend

People living a life never taking blame

For the tragedies at hand, saying its all the same

The homeless never sleeping and the hungry never fed

What does it take to lower ones head

Everything thats missing we hold deep inside

Instead of seeing it we only see our pride

Knocking people over to get our just dues

Heart breaking to see how i treat you

One things for certain the answers in our heart

But this foolish pride and lust with it we can not part

So what does it take to help us all see

The truth we seek is between you and me

What is the answer for that broken heart

For all the restless nights that gives us this messed up start

Where is the answer that opens our hearts to see

The answer truly lies between you and me

Our nature is foul, malaligned and unjust

Going through life with others, that for you, have no trust

How does it make you feel, to be as blind as you can be

All because you can't see the forest for the trees

This is what life brings us over and over again

Trying to show us where we need to bend

Showing us through example how we need to be

So what does it take for us all to see

LOVE
