Another Way

{ Quick Note}: I would like to take a minute to say this year everyone should be thankful for what they have and not what they don't have. It doesn't matter if you're rich or broke, black or white, gay or straight we are all human and every human must learn to love instead of hate and to never take life for granted. Happy Thanksgiving to everyone, God bless.- Ms Jackson

 It's time I do some good for once in my life,
If only you could understand then you would put your selfish thoughts to rest.
Look around you,
Do you see these babies in front of you?,
Can't you see the pain in their eyes? Or
Feel their sorrow?
They feel so empty and hallow.
Ain't had enough to eat,
No clothes on their backs,
And no shoes for their feet.
But they don't beg nor do they hate their lives,  
So tell me what can we do to stop this?.
 
Listen to me when I say "We need to change our ways".
Things may not be so easy for you,
Things may not be so easy for me,
but there is another way of thinking,
there's another way of giving,
And there's another way of wishing,
There's another way.
 
I've been the victim of a selfish kind of love,
I know the lord above knows I'm not perfect, but I know there are those who deserve more than just empty promises.
Can't you hear their broken dreams?,
Can't you listen to their hopeful prayers as they wish for something better?.
Homeless and helpless,
Can't we give them the promise of another tomorrow?.
 
Listen to me when I say "We need to change our ways".
Things may not be so easy for you,
Things may not be so easy for me,
but there is another way of thinking,
there's another way of giving,
And there's another way of wishing.
There's another way.
 
I used to believe,
I used to dream,
But now I don't know where we are,
It seems this world is falling apart.
We're going down real hard and it's time to do something now before it goes too far.
 
Listen to me when I say " We need to change our ways".
Things may not be so easy for you,
Things may not be so easy for me,
but there is another way of thinking,
there's another way of giving,
And there's another way of wishing.
There's another way.
