Deceitful World

Worries…pain…emotional strain… Thought I would succeed but have nothing to gain Feeling so alone, facing the world on my own Everything is all wrong when you’re...f u l l g r o w n… My childhood passes me by… …I rely…on skipping life and going right back in time ‘Cause time flies… And blue skies are just God’s eyes in disguise… I can’t live…in a world built on fictional lies! Love’s tied…into trust...if only I can give it all up But these heavy burdens tend to way me down.. And so I sit here...trembling in fear.. Afraid of what the world has next to come for me Lying in agony, a burst of anger rises... Because of this deceitful world, Not even terrorism come as surprises.. Racial slurs, and political disguises.. Let me tell you lies come in all colors, shapes and sizes... It’s a shame how we let the world defeat us with deceit but We’ll never know it’s happening… Because that’s what were lacking in, And that’s what they’re attacking… They’re attacking our minds If you haven’t noticed yet but these are the times Not the times that we wished for But the times of war, times for you to be hardcore… Not in the world, but with Lord and nothing more Why is our vision impaired…but it seems that no one really cares?? He said we got the VICTORY, but no one is claiming it’s theirs We need to rekindle that fire, only God will take us higher Yea I may be preacher to the choir But look our lives are hanging by a wire Our lives are hanging by a limb… It’s only His desire, for us to go preach the gospel When the day comes, he’ll look at us and admire But as for now, God is uninspired… By our actions by far, instead of asking Him, We’re wishing on a star, which totally bizarre Because we are a peculiar people, Can we say “pageantry”?? This form of fashion is not who we are… Let’s go back to those days where church was about getting saved, Not played, or tricked into someone else get paid, It’s been like that for decades but some how it started to fade Don’t you feel like God is been betrayed?? Although he forgives us for the mistakes we’ve made, we turn around And seek man to come to aide, when God is our healer Emotionally, physically, and spiritually saves And He himself said, that we we’re fearfully and wonderfully made…
