(Verse) Sitting at a corner, a poor man's cardboard sign All that he has is hunger but I do not have the time for this I cannot be late I've got my life to live I'm sure you can relate if there's any extra then I'll give (Chorus) Look what we're doing to ourselves We're making our world a broken hell Our lives have become empty frail shells While we throw poison into our own wells (Verse) There is at least this one thing, on which both sides agree I wish that I could be singing that we would have no poverty But we are still not willing to give away our perks And so we hold back trusting, that someone else will do the work (Bridge) I am in the midst of lions, I lie among ravenous beasts Men whose teeth are spears and arrows, whose tongues are sharp as swords They spread a net for my feet; I was bowed down in distress They dug a pit for my path, but they have fallen into it themselves In the sizzling heat of the afternoon Clothes drenched and shoes are filled with sweat SongtexteThe long memory of the day makes my body ache God you are my hope this time We can change this world (Thanks to Jeremy Hungerford for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
