lyrics
Winter nights like these
We feel the same breeze
The bitter cold fills our lungs
Darkness presses its face to ours
In nights like these my heart breaks for the ones bound to suffering
Internalize the responsibility to care for those around us
How can we identify with suffering when we’ve escaped to the shelters we’ve known?
Seldom will a care break the skin of our homes
Where were you when the foundations of the earth were made?
And what was your charge?
You think the maker of all things pre-destined existence to spin around you?
Consciousness shared, pain isolated
Muffed screams under the thin ice we tread
Consciences flare as their constricted lungs collapse
But we’re whisked away by the cares of tearless men
The pounding ceases, the surface never breaks
And we go about our ways
We dehumanize those beneath us looking for escape
Where were you when the foundations of the earth were made?
And what was your charge?
You think the maker of all things pre-destined existence to spin around you?
Birthed into the same reality
Our lives are intertwined
We breathe the same air (x3)
The maker of all things came not to be served but to serve in love
How much more should we serve our fellow man?
The maker of all things stood to user a new generation of servanthood.
Respond to the needs around us, respond.
