A secret....

We are going to a meeting today. It's a secret. Here's a hint:

I don’t know you, you don’t know me
But that don’t mean there's no responsibility

If you’re cold and I walk by
If you’re hungry and I just say “hi”

If you’re spirit’s worn and you’re bodies tired
And I say “Pray, and you’ll be inspired”

If I don’t hold you close until you’re body’s warm
If I don’t feed you ‘til you’re belly’s full
If I don’t welcome you into my home
Then my faith is dead and you’re all alone

Like a body with no spirit, or a candle with no flame
Like a window painted over or the help that never came
Like a storm without a rainbow or a bird that never sings
Faith without action dies, it’s a bell that never rings.

People walk by, people don’t care
They’re headed to their limousine to go somewhere instead
People are comfy, people are cozy
People are rich and their cheeks are rozy
Lexus, BMW, Mercedes Benz
Baluga caviar and plated pens
Capitalistic oppression, systemic sin
The rich get richer and the poor never win
They're building their walls higher and higher
with the money that extinguishes hunger’s fire

Like a body with no spirit, or a candle with no flame
Like a window painted over or the help that never came
Like a storm without a rainbow or a bird that never sings
Faith without action dies, it’s a bell that never rings.

If I know God and the golden rule
Then I’ve got no business ignoring you

Hello mother, father, or my best friend
brother, sister can I help you mend
Can I hold you close and never let go,
and there’s something else that you ought to know
Oh you’ve got a spirit, your candle a flame
and after the rainbow there might be more rain
After the healing come their might be some pain
But you’ll never be alone again.

Like a body with no spirit, or a candle with no flame
Like a window painted over or the help that never came
Like a storm without a rainbow or a bird that never sings
Faith without action dies, it’s a bell that never rings.


I don’t know you, you don’t know me
But that don’t mean there's no responsibility.....
