Dilemna

Outside    

You can hear the neighbor’s children

They’re crying.

Inside

Is that your own heart pounding

Is it you that’s dying?

Now have you made all the beds?

Have you swept the floors today?

There’s so much here that’s left to do

Before you can go your own way.

All the windows, they’ve been broken

And the yard, YECCH it’s such a mess.

Just listen to the way you talk

Man look at the way you dress.

I know, I know you always saying

That you’ll make emends to destiny

Well that will all begin with you

So please don’t you start with me.

The world it keeps turning

The world it keeps burning

The blows leave you black and blue

There’s not much you can do

The world it keeps turning

The world it keeps yearning

Bow to the Grace that sees you through

If you want a better me

First make a better you

Outside     

Still can hear the neighbor’s children crying

Inside

You’ll see you’re still sick, you’re still dying

So I take these words to heart

I’ll take these words to my head

So you wanna save the world?

First save yourself instead.
