Reflections on Lent: Let Us Love

- Let Us Love -
by NeedtoBreath

We were born to embrace not accept it
We were given nothing more so we kept it
As the color of our boots keep fading
We live a life that we hate without saying

Who would listen to the cries of a poor man
We never done nothing
How can we be something

 
Every heart has an hour of existence
Every breath brings a chance for redemption
If somehow we could Wake Up!

Let us love (like we were children)
Make us feel (like we're still living)
in a world I know is burning to the ground

Give us time (to beat the system)
Make us find (what we've been missing)
In a world I know is burning to the ground

In the crowd of the dead and disappointed
We're ashamed given up on what we wanted
Take a chance at long shot this time
Aren't we all just at least worth another try
 

I'm a king in the land of abuses
Undermined by the promise of excuses
Whose to win if we know that it's not fair
Who would fight when it seems that no one cares
If somehow we could Wake Up!

Let us love (like we were children)
Make us feel (like we're still living)
in a world I know is burning to the ground

Give us time (to beat the system)
Make us find (what we've been missing)
In a world I know is burning to the ground


Let us love (like we were children)
Make us feel (like we were living)
in a world I know is burning to the ground

Leave your hurting on the road behind you. 
Let the wind go with you till the morning comes
Yeah your sorrow, no it can't save you. 
It won't answer for what you've done
 Let us love (like we were children)
Make us feel (like we were living)
in a world I know is burning to the ground
