pretend like you’re in new york as you read this

time is money and we have none to waste

our lives all sold out leaving God no place

in a sea of flashing stars and taxi headlights

we get lost living not by faith but by sight

but how can we call for change when we cant even call a taxi

looking for a cab driver to take the wheel while we sit in the backseat

forced to walk for miles on this concrete pavement

walking by those in need but noticing only their fragrance

patience we say when a man of the crowd bumps into us

but the next person won’t be so lucky you can trust

funny how we live in a green world but i cant find a tree

i guess  they were talking about the money controlling our economy

so fed up with the monotony of this daily routine

working day in and day out the money fuels the machine

Lord come show us how we’re living ain’t right

devestate us and leave us with hearts contrite

    Haha yea no matter how many times i come here, my thoughts- similar to yours up there- don’t change. Probably the exact sentiments I had while walking around the streets. It’s very fast paced, too much to digest at once.

    I like that whole nature green to money green connection. caught me off guard yo =)
