Here Where We're At, I Know You Mean Well

Here where we're at I know you mean well Some have come and gone from the four corners of the world Where to many believe all the lies that are told When I was young I followed the wrong crowds in the streets Trying to find out just where I belonged Where a boy's not a man and a man's not a boy Now here in America the waters not clean And mammon they have followed and too long they have known It's not now safe to drink Now how many women and men are in love, love and the price That you know and it's costs Sold on each war and the debts that we pay Yes the dust in the air casts out blood red moonlight Kneeling in the shade we can't catch our own breath Few know the game but more know the pain of chasing A dragon that burns in the rain And it's only here where they read what I write Fighting the fight here the corrupt will not fight And about that one God and his each different house Placing a chip in your children's head and changing The way about what genius is No matter how bright it's all still out of reach Here where I live the homeless are jailed And a profit must give but here must never take Where worse for wear again I must be born To read about what I in some other life Now have misgivings about what's now going on Where the ice that has melted must flow out somewhere To change what's been done the people must care Being poor, dreams are only drempt while asleep Walls without door's now are all that are seen Awaken each mind each mind lucid that thinks that someone Else will solve each their own out of reach While wisdom is lost none now dare to think to think About you that they care Copyright © James McLain | Year Posted 2017
