J Fish Questions
(Verse 1)
There's a war in the streets
And a war in my mind
Its got me feelin' this rhyme
Got me wastin' my, wastin' my time
Life's endless struggles
Fill with pain from the start -
Flooding to my heart
Blastin' anger from my mouth
Holdin strife in my hands
I despise life's demands
Livin' to a standard that I just can't meet
It all feels the same
When you fall to your knees
But you gotta get up
Keepin' it all goin'
Gotta raise my desire
And take it a bit higher
Cast through fire
Belittled and beaten, like the son of man
Buy yet still, I'm his number one fan
(Chorus)
Can't we see eye to eye?
Can't we be like we're brothers?
Can't we live like we're children?
Can't we love like our God?
Can't we forgive like we're Jesus?
Can't we serve like the Spirit?
Stop the Judging,
Stop the Hating,
Stop the Plotting,
Stop the Lying,
Stop the Lusting,
Stop Despising,
Stop Rejecting,
Stop Condemning,
Start by Loving,
Start Forgiving,
Start by Helping,
Start by Healing,
Start by Trusting,
Start by Giving,
Start Accepting,
Start Repenting!
(Verse 2)
Pierced through the heart
Branded in my soul
The fight with the enemy has taken its toll
Now I'm livin up
Now I'm livin down
My whole life -
Keeps spinnin around
Need a break from stress
Need a place to rest
I never seem to feel my best
The rest?, Where's the rest?
Its all in the flesh
From my first breath till death
What am I living for
Why can't I die
Am I curse, am I blind
As I look to the sky
These are questions that I ask
Wonders in my mind
Inside -
I need the spirit to guide
(Chorus)
Can't we see eye to eye?
Can't we be like we're brothers?
Can't we live like we're children?
Can't we love like our God?
Can't we forgive like we're Jesus?
Can't we serve like the Spirit?
Stop the Judging,
Stop the Hating,
Stop the Plotting,
Stop the Lying,
Stop the Lusting,
Stop Despising,
Stop Rejecting,
Stop Condemning,
Start by Loving,
Start Forgiving,
Start by Helping,
Start by Healing,
Start by Trusting,
Start by Giving,
Start Accepting,
Start Repenting!
(Verse 3)
Do I give up the world?
Do I forfeit my soul?
Why is that choice gotta be so bold?
I see it in my mind,
I know it in my heart,
But why, why?
Why can't I spend a little wealth,
And give a little help?
Can't I study world science,
And read to good book?
Can't I watch a new movie,
And hour after church?
Can't I be a little mad,
And show a little love?
If I notice someone's beauty,
Does that mean I have lust?
If I follow God's word,
Does that mean I have trust?
Can't be a little lost,
And be a little found?
Can't I be a little square,
And be a little round?
