Heaven Hell and Here
On the ground is
where I lay and
gaze into the sky,
you're not supposed
to question God but
Lord I ask You why,
do recent world
events effect the
way that people
live? Why some
can't find a job to
earn the cash to
feed their kids.
A thorough
explanation is the
thing that I seek
most, my mind is
so intuative and I
don't mean to boast,
but if there is a
scheme so grand I
need to ascertain,
the reason why my
people choose to
cause and live with
pain.
The birds that fly to
Heaven now fall
down from out the
sky, the world is
going crazy with the
simple question
why,
do fish that swim
amongst the sea
now wash up on the
beach? What
lesson, if there's
any, are You really
trying to teach?
The speculation
brewing up by
some? It all
depends, the world
and ev'rything we
know, that soon it
all will end,
the question we
must ask ourselves
before the earth is
gone, is have we as
a people earned the
right to journey on?
The proof is in the
pudding, look one
way and back
around, You'll
notice that a lot of
folks are napping
underground,
through no fault of
their own they live
their days with
gloom and strife, til
someone with a gun
arrives and BOOM,
there goes a life.
I understand that
some Dear God
exist along the
edge, of Heaven
Hell & Here, they
walk the wire to get
ahead,
the balancing is
worth it, that's what
gets into their head,
the surface though
is highly waxed
which means one
slip, they're dead.
The thing that gets
me most of all is
how we treat our
kids, they shouldn't
have to suffer with
the evil that we live,
I see them as the
future not to quote
Ms. Houston's
song, a sentence of
eternal Hell to those
who do them wrong.
I think I'm just
concerned Dear
God if we are on the
path, of
righteousness
forever in a world
that everlasts,
myself I'm far from
perfect but I do
hope to achieve, I
thank You God for
list'ning don't give
up on us, believe.
