Just

Just came to give some company
Heard the grave is cold and lonely
Thought I'd come to say a prayer
To show that I still really care

If memories were a ladder
And tears were a lane
I'd go up to heaven
And bring you back again

Running after a world that flees
We live our lives so worry free
Forgetting we’re not here to stay
Buried and left to decay

Just read the situation's full update
Heard you can't afford a dinner plate
Thought I'd write it out and share
To show people you're in despair

If hope was a seed
And ambition was rain
I'd grow a field of crops
So you could eat again

We live within our happy bubble
Not helping others with their troubles
Forgetting our brothers in humanity
A shameful life of vanity

In a World

In a world of guided missiles
In a world of misguided men

Television is draining imagination
Media is enslaving a nation
Life is a competition, a ruthless race
Leaders are corrupt and without grace

Divided into many congregations
A political atmosphere of aberration
Sold out tyrants with motives deranged
Few believers willing to fight for change

In a world of guided missiles
In a world of misguided men

Used to harassment and interrogation
Shutting our mouths with hesitation
Quicker than lightning, bombs hit the ground
Most victims are buried, but some aren’t found

In need of help, but forgetting prostration
Closed hands from charitable donations
In difficult times God’s help we should seek
He will provide victory in a time so bleak

In a world of guided missiles
In a world of misguided men

As the pendulum of justice begins to swing
Oppressors keep trying to pull more strings
Don’t let mischief of the devil bring you down
For in a mighty river the pharaoh did drown

Keep up your fast and trust your prayer
There is an afterlife, so stay well aware
Though times change and society transforms
A true believer always weathers the storm

In a world of guided missiles
In a world of misguided men
