I've been contemplating,
and waiting, even debating
and finally I've come down to this;
Wish I had the answers
to the questions that we pose,
but I suppose I'd have to sleep on it
for a night or two
to see what I can do.
What I can fathom that will fix
the problems that face us.
I trust we can work together
to make things better.
Two heads are better than one.
Together we will get the job done.
We’ll come up with answers to those
questions that were proposed.
Then, we’ll carry out our promises
as we’re supposed to do.
Walk miles in someone else’s shoes
so we’ll realize the things that they
go through.
Instead of singing the blues
to ears that won't hear,
and tears filled with fears
from pain and anguish
that tends to dish out dumbfoundedness
in the pretense of bliss...
I simply wish that real wasn't surreal.
Harsh realities of life filled with
tragedy and strife...
How can we point the finger?
How can we criticize?
We’ve come together to
let our lights shine
so others may feel our warmth,
and understand that everything is going to
be fine!
In the midst of despair there are those that care,
and share their illumination with dedication.
Yes we can, and we will fit the bill
because we have in the past,
and we continue to pursue our just do.
We will keep moving onward with the stride
of a people with much pride.
Lets do all we can to put a smile
on someone’s face,
and help each other on this
journey to a better place.
