There’s More to the Story

Where do I go to find peace, gratitude
Then I bump into you to get hate, attitude
There’s no place to hide, only fear and a feud
Life’s but a joke, but it isn’t, it’s crude

I’m tired of waisting my time in my fate
I’m tired of waiting before it’s too late
I feel the grim reaper is my only date
I feel like a fish on a hook, I’m the bait

And what, all this racial divide is polluted
The masses just stand on the corner so muted
The world is not real, just a mess, convoluted
Is this what He came for, to be persecuted

I don’t understand all the power and greed
So many have nothing with mouths left to feed
Can anyone, please, just do one good deed
Billions like us, just different in needs

Yes, desperate claims, see, something’s gone wrong
Nobody is worthy, nobody belongs 
So, throw money at it, you can’t right the wrongs
This apathy’s sacred, division too strong

Then sail to an island, get away from the crowd
What, poverty’s talking, the voice is too loud
Away from the boat, see, you’re rich and so proud
To get in the weeds, no, your head’s in a cloud

Majestic, clear moments, you don’t give a damn
Let them eat cake, no, just let them eat Spam
Everyone’s free but we’re all in a jam
No pearls you can find here, just shells like a clam

The price for our freedom, we didn’t obey
We made up our own gods with stubble and clay
And science and Superman, please come save the day
God never existed, it was always our way

So, what about life then, is this all we’ve got
Just buy more geraniums and place them in pots
A pat on your back, hey kids, thanks a lot
To die in your misery, all dressed in your plot

There’s more to the story, so I have been told
It’s not about hoarding your riches and gold
It’s not about good deeds you’ve done til your old
It’s all about Jesus, please let me be bold

He came down from Heaven to love and give grace
To the poor and the lonely who couldn’t find place
He hung on a cross so your sins be erased 
‘Twas Christ be forsaken, so you could save face

Before God and His glory, His sacrificed life
Twas Jesus of Nazareth who took on our strife 
The Bridegroom was humbled to save His church wife
Relationship wanting in God’s afterlife
