The Need For Acceptance
Do you see that child taking care of her own
Trying to do her part
There is a need for acceptance from you and I
If you can’t do that, you have no heart
Do you see that young man walking the street
Looking for a place with some friends to hang
There is a need for acceptance from you and I
If we don’t do that, then he’ll join a gang
Society is to blame for most of our woes
Dividing the people into separated classes
The government enhances the social problems
Creating dependency, enslaving the masses
Education is just part of the key
Empowering the people to exist as one
There is a need for acceptance in one and all
Then many of our problems will become undone
Creating dependency doesn’t fit the bill
A nation enslaved to a government check
A sense of pride in a job well done
Will stop society from its downward trek
We have a responsibility to our fellow man
To all those who struggle to survive each day
To fill the need for acceptance within their hearts
To love and teach them to find their way.
