lyrics

The mark of corruption
rots the foundation
of every institution
that reluctantly stands.
The inhabitants stay
making their way
to the scattered places
where on may be saved.

I understand but don’t know
what life’s like for you,
huddled in a train station
with nowhere to go.
I continue my day
but can’t look away
at the suffering poor
in our great society.

The weight of concern
still rests on my back,
but if shrugged off
I’m no better than those
who’re told to lie,
told to steal,
and cut the safety net
that serves society’s need.

I understand but don’t know
what life’s like for you,
calling streets home
in the heat or the cold.
I continue my day
but reminded always
of the suffering faces
in our great society.
