If It Could Be Changed...

Location

If it could be changed I would change it in a beat,

Make sure everyone heard from here to Easy Street,

And bring them to see things through my eyes,

What I see, what I feel, and what in my heart really lies.

Because I'm tired of war, I'm tired of peace talks,

I'm tired of bullshit when we're caught between rocks,

Trying to fight for everyday survival,

Why do we feel the need to create rivals?

When we're all pointing fingers and shaming others,

When truth be told you should sharpen your brothers,

Jesus said to turn to the other cheek and love thy neighbor,

But all you're concerned about is the fruit of your labors.

So take the log out your own eye before you judge,

Lest you be the source of someone else's grudge.
