Selfish Distance

A voice cries out for help, does anyone hear?
Is that voice ignored, or are we hard of hearing?
How can we see our brothers suffering, and yet still do nothing?
How can we see our brothers suffering, and yet still do nothing?

Are we just a heartless breed? Is our only motive greed?
We can be the change; we can meet the need
We will lift our voices till our throats bleed
And on my final day, I hope they see the change
We pick each other up, I hope you do the same
We cannot stand idle anymore, we are the impact
We cannot be ignored

I made bail; I’m getting out this cell
I’m more than paychecks and selfish distance
I sought the edge of my soul, climbing my way out this hole
I made bail; I’m getting out this cell
I’m more than paychecks and selfish distance

I sought the edge of my soul, letting go
We can be the change; we can meet the need
We will lift our voices till our throats bleed
And on my final day, I hope they see the change
We pick each other up, I hope you do the same
If we want change then it must start with us
If we want change then we must take a stand
I refuse to sit and watch as others suffer
We are a part of a bigger plan
This is our time to act now
This is our time to act
