21. Lights Please

Can we get some light in the world?
Is it possible for some light to shine in the hearts of all those living?
Black Lives Matter
And so do White ones
And Mexican Ones
But no one cares about the Indians
Living in poverty being murdered for their status
Who's thinking about the kids across the globe who's parents abandon them because they can't afford them 
We're shining light in the wrong way in America
The lights are aimed toward the stage and all those who stand on it are praised rather than the one who created all days
We're worried about dead presidents
And don't get me wrong money isn't the root of all evil 
But you forget that it's a distraction for what's really important
The most valuable things cannot be contained by an earthly substance
Such issues arising can only be solved with something and someone unseen 
Id beg for peace and love but most don't think that's the answer
So I'll go along with the fire and end up spending my eternity in one
Which I refuse to do so the solution is simple
There's no substitution 
But people are scared of the truth
And people are scared to change their lives for the benefit of others
People are scared that this answer might interfere with their sinful pleasure
They're scared to give their life away
People would rather claim to believe in the big man in the sky and leave it at that 
We love saying we love God
But in reality we love ourselves more
We would be just fine if we got to heaven and Jesus wasn't even there
We would be fine if the events of today occurred in a different spectrum
As long as it doesn't affect us
But since it does
We'll get on Twitter and shout our anger then 3 weeks later when it happens again well try to sound a little more angry 
But what are we doing to change anything
What are we truly doing to change the world
It doesn't seem to click in the minds that death is near and death is here and spreading love and joy and peace is so much more important and effective than fighting fire with fire
Which just makes more fire
So who's gonna step up and grab the water 
Become the system
Change the ways
Glory to God
Praise his ways
Words with no actions seems to come at ease
Too many living in the darkness 
To which I say 
Lights Please
