fight

In a place called hell

Can't you tell?
There's flies eating open wounds of humans 
They're just kids
Parents making up mental excuses 
For why their family doesn't have their needs 
For some it's real 
Others just gamble their pay
Too drunk unmotivated wasting away
There's babies crying as parents pretend to not hear 
A five year old girl experiance rape
And no one there to give a care
What kind of world is this that justice equals money 
There's not really much joy just everlasting misery 
Drowned out in a distraction of a few minutes of pleasure 
As the man trades money for pleasure 
And girl her soul for a taste of material treasure 
Which leaves the man lusting for a more
And the woman beaten against the door
Kicking and screaming inside but forced to stay silent 
She didn't  know when she signed up that this is what they meant 
They promises fast cash but now she knows its a fast death
As she watches aids take over her health
A little bit bitter at the Next man so she does what she know best 
Stays  silent in her nest 
As he gets his way 
And he's erotic with his way 
Trying to cause some pain 
Any reaction will do 
Saying emptily I love you 
Words they've both heard and said so much 
Without a hint of a meaning 
They're stuck in a nightmare when theyre not even dreaming 
Different chains but they're bound up the same 
And they're screaming some Buddhas name 
But he died so long ago he couldn't even save him self 
Why would he save them 
when their souls are aching for Him 
 
So where are you where is your goodness 
In their misery and darkness 
I'm on a search for you to give them hope and meaning 
But I'm realising I'm also drowning 
Feeling what they feel and I can't do a thing 
Trying to tell them who they are but they won't understand. The believe they're nothing. 
But your goodness remains the light doesn't stop burning
But their souls are empty their hearts are yearning 
And they're to blind to see 
What I see 
Which is your glory 
And only a small part is in me
The justice of a Gods heart for his people 
And your goodness is 
A kid of the streets learning a song about Christ 
Holding a child that's never been held is your just 
For random people for a distant land to come to the unheard 
Hear and understand 
To tell stories and to teach 
For someone for once not to deceive but simply speak worth and believe 
Believe in the people and offer a piece of hope 
That will never be taken away
It's not a method to cope 
But a method to live love and thrive 
They can experience the world instead of struggling to survive 
The goodness is that a child can experience innocence for a change instead of corruption 
Can be told the truth instead of destruction 
Can be corrected not punished 
Start something that they can actually finish 
This  is your goodness and more 
When a lonely woman can be touched at the core 
Where the god d heaven armies stoops down low 
To see a reaping harvest where there hasn't been anyone to sow
The goodness is that your people to move 
Just to show one person the correct image of love 
Where a man who's done more wrong then the days he lived 
Can be told about the love of a father  no matter how many people he deceived 
Where those who have never cared are crying tears 
Where people decide to put down their beers 
And give up everything they've known that seemed so right 
For a better God and stand and fight.
