(No More) Apathy
Sitting down in your easy chair
Reading the paper
Dog lying at your feet
Television talks about destruction
But you don’t care
You’re living kind of sweet
And the people sitting on the doorstep
Death waiting all around
The people living in the doorways
Faces to the crowd
What you looking for
When you’re standing by the open door
And the world outside is staring in
Ain’t it full of sin
No more
The world outside doesn’t bother you
It’s an image brought in by the tube
Imagination’s all you see
When you look outside
You see the see
And the seagulls
The seas of humanity are huge
The sailors and deckhands
That craft the world that we once knew
Are falling by the pride of governments
Like refugees who sink to win
Their freedom is a costly thing
Do you see them dying in the promised land
No more
Apathy won’t get you nowhere in the world of today
You’re caught in the middle
No escape
You’ve got a choice to make
Better make it soon
One way or another
You’ll end up shot
Out in the open air
With eyes that watch the cameras glare
In living rooms and bars
And there you go
Dying in the promised land
Sitting down in your easy chair
Staring blindly
Dog lying at your feet
You opened your eyes
To the world outside
And the world came rushing in
To meet you like a riot
Forced out in the streets
Of a bombed-out town
Where no one sees the government
Do you see them dying
Ain’t it full of sin
No more
Take aim
Aim taken
Fire
Fired
Destroyed.

The Waiting World

The Waiting World
Nothing bothers me at midnight
The darkness hides the waiting world
And like the man upon the ladder
The truth is never felt or heard
The shadow waits upon the wall
For its owner to return
The clock that measures time in minutes
Shows the time that we all fear
And though the proof is there before us
We think that we have learned
Eternity is all it shows us
Its hand will never turn
When the sun never sets on a waiting world
And the shadows of death speak their words
Loud and clear though never heard
In the gallery of lives lost
His picture hangs upon the wall
If his picture were a painting
Its thousand words speak against war
When the sun never sets on a waiting world
And the shadows of death speak their words
The clock that measures time in minutes
Shows the time that we all fear
Eternity is all it shows us
Its hand will never turn
And the sun never sets on a waiting world
And the shadows of death speak their words
And the sun never sets on a waiting world
And the shadows of death speak their words
Loud and clear though never heard
The sun never sets on a waiting world

The Child That’s Left Inside
When I was growing up at home
A child
I guess I never understood
A world I didn’t know
Was crying to be heard
Above the hunger and the fear
In time I came to understand the prayers
And to this day they pray them still
The pictures that we see
Don’t show all that they should
It’s time we taste a bitter pill
I don’t want to die
Are the cries the children hide
Maybe there’s time to save a few
And both you and I
Have the child that’s left inside
Can’t you hear it calling you?
Tell me I’m dreaming
The pictures change from day to day
But the hurt can still be seen in their eyes
I wish that I could just throw it all away
Relieve the anguish in their minds
If I could only give them hope
And find a way to bring together all mankind
Maybe then we’d wipe away the tears
That shouldn’t fill a child’s eyes
I don’t want to die
Are the cries the children hide
Maybe there’s time to save a few
And both you and I
Have the child that’s left inside
Can’t you hear it calling you?
Tell me I’m dreaming

Like A Warrior
I’ve been looking at the world
From a different point of view
I’ve been thinking of me
While I’ve been praying for you
And I hope we can find
The answers to all of our problems
You know that life comes along
And life passes by
The people in this world
Are bound to realize
That to live out our lives
We have to live united
Cause I’ve been fighting for a chance
A chance to survive
And I’m fed up with excuses
I’m fed up with the lies
We’re fighting a war
And we win or we die
In the long run
I see so much injustice
And I just cannot see
The reason we sit back
And let it all be
It’s like you don’t want to live
You don’t want to be free
Is that what you’re saying?
I want to live my life like a warrior
I want to live my life for a cause
We all feel so useless
In the world of today
We speak, then we scream
But no one hears what we say
It’s like all of the love
In this world’s gone away
And we can’t find a meaning
I see people around me
Just full of despair
They’re ready to jump
And we don’t even care
I’m telling you one thing
There’s someone who there
You have to live your life
Like a warrior
You have to live your life
You have to live your life
For a cause
You have to live your life
I live my life like a warrior
Some problems won’t fade away
Do you see what I’m trying to say
You have to live your life
Like a warrior
You have to live your life
You have to live your life
For a cause
You have to live your life
Like a warrior
You have to live your life
You have to live your life
For a cause
I’ve been looking at the world
From a different point of view
I’ve been thinking of me
While I’ve been praying for you
And I hope we can find
The answers to all of our problems
Cause I’ve been fighting for a chance
A chance to survive
And I’m fed up with excuses
I’m fed up with the lies
We’re fighting a war
And we win or we die
In the long run
You have to live your life
Like a warrior
You have to live your life
You have to live your life
For a cause
You have to live your life
