Slip on the Passion
Somebody out there is lying in bed
Some stranger crying for a piece of my bread
Some lonely dog hasn't found a new home
Some orphan boy head knocking on chrome
Something's not right in the next neighbourhood
Nobody's doing what they can, what they should
Some throw in the towel while somebody tries
Nobody's winning, somebody dies
Maybe you're winning, still somebody dies
What change are they talking on TV, on radio
Pump up the volume, bro, can't hear it on stereo
Somebody's needing you, go! where you have to be
Leave mother, leave father, leave brother, leave me
Somebody's sacrifice, it's yours maybe mine
To reverse all these wrongs, pull the brakes, stop the crime
Just closing your eyes, you feel safe and secure
Real people hurting here, can't tell them "Endure!"
It's nobody's burden, but you make the difference
Maybe you first, maybe me first, we could take turns
Let's bring on some hope amidst struggle and strife
Start with small steps, they may save a life
Don't need no dough to change what goes around
Smile, bring God's love, let His joy just abound
Go tell the nations that life doesn't end
Help them make choices they can't comprehend
Bring out the blankets, send the next meal,
Change not political, changes surreal
Maybe it's possible, bro, you and me, then
Slip on the passion, we'll do what we can
