The Sun Is Hot

The sun is hot My blood flows with the spirit within me I sit, I look, I listen, I pray Times these days are no longer our own When you can wake up one morning and you no longer have a home -- When people are committing unspeakable crimes Where it becomes - just one of those thangs -- When there is so much ugliness -- THE SUN IS HOT -- The people are procrastinating -- the councilmen are debating There's a shortage of food Crimes are escalating No one talks anymore -- but they're willing to fight -- People are dying -- our babies are crying -- Hearts have been turned to stone -- Our young children feel all alone -- Family life is a disgrace -- everyone is spread all over the place -- What's yours is no longer mine -- What's mine is no longer yours -- What you have today - isn't guaranteed to be yours tomorrow -- So, if you have a voice -- use it -- Speaking of what it used to be like -- When we were a family -- When the family gathered around the picnic spot -- When life was everything that today's it's not -- When life was great -- When the sun was hot --
