Taking It To The Streets
When you take that message to my brother
He sees the people fighting poverty's claw
While others turn away from trouble
So distressed contemplating violating the law
Can we find a higher ground
Resonates beautiful sounds
Why don't you take a look around
Let's change this whole damm town
Sister doesn't know where
The next day's food will come
Work or childcare an issue
So close to coming undone
Do we have the strength to care
How hard is it if we dare
Or should just continue to stare
Too many lives that go nowhere
He sees the people fighting poverty's claw
While others turn away from trouble
So distressed contemplating violating the law
Can we find a higher ground
Resonates beautiful sounds
Why don't you take a look around
Let's change this whole damm town
Sister doesn't know where
The next day's food will come
Work or childcare an issue
So close to coming undone
Do we have the strength to care
How hard is it if we dare
Or should just continue to stare
Too many lives that go nowhere
