Political Questions
Why do politicians make speeches
When all they say is to deceive
When will we find a leader
Who'll give us reasons to believe
Why do they sacrifice our young
And smother us with lies
How can they justify their actions
While another mother cries
The pride, the passion that we once had
Has been slowly taken away
Why do they continue to make promises
That it will change someday
How long will people look away
While politicians mislead our youth
How long can a government exist
When it exists so far from the truth
When will we return to the dream
That we lost along the way
Where all God's people live in peace
And hate and anger fade away
If race or creed make a difference
In the way that people see
If one man is judged for his beliefs
Then none of us are free.
