Just Sitting Here
I’m just sitting here drinking coffee.
The morning air is so crisp and clear.
I know there’s so much going on out there
While I’m just sitting here.
Too many people are roaming around out there
On a day they’re destined to roam.
They’ll push their carts up to garbage bins
Too many people – who have no home.
Too many children are left unattended
Because their parents have sold out to dope.
Too many children in reckless situations
Too many children – too little hope.
Someone’s loved ones are saying their last goodbyes
In a hospital room filled with tears
As they each have to deal with losing this person
This person they all loved for years.
My heart is weeping for all of them.
I’m just a person who really does care.
And someday I’ll do something about it
But right now – I’m just sitting here.
