It Starts With Us

what will tomorrow bring if today brought so much sorrow that always has me wondering do i even want to see tomorrow im tired of all the disappointments im tired of all the problems we face im tired of all the unemployment im tired of all the disgrace we make no sort of sacrifice in making everyday a better day yet we pray for a better life but we refuse to change our ways we do have all the power to bring about a change yea the choice is ours we who bares the shame we can see a brother lying in the street lookin as if he's about to die when all he ask for was something to eat yet we still pass him by too busy to go out you way or to go out on a limb probly worried about someone would say if they saw you helping him and those of us too busy living our life that we cant even give our children a hug or offer a gentle word of advice and wonder why they're strung out on drugs then the fact that we put our trust in people that tends to lead us astray doing anything they can and calling it legal and pushing us to go that way and that's a few examples of our problems today yet we hope for a change but as long as we continue to live this way then we only have ourselves to blame
