Double Life

Double Life

Who has the power to win wars;

a stranger knocking at our doors

To floor us when we atone

Who says we’ll never be alone

but is less important than our phone

Who brought us back from the dark

bought with the currency of blood

and currently not important enough to mention

not to mention the way we talk

when do we really walk?

once a week?

we’ve become weak

if the world had begun again

could we ever hope to gain a name?

it’s no longer a game when the king dines with the poor

would we be fine to be among the poor?

we were poured into

but it's still about ‘me’

in the still, do you see his face?

can we face the facts?

we were a disgrace

but redeemed with grace

deemed fit for the kingdom

now let the king come

for it was said that it was done

no matter how far we run

the son meets us there

burning brighter than the sun

for action can’t earn us what we already have

turning to ourselves to save

living for the grave?

the way we behave brings death

the things of this world will rest

you know the story, he will do the rest.

its best to live like he died

because there is no “you tried”

so join the cause, march to the drum

the war has already begun.
