The Daily Boost #758

The only place to start

FALLEN PEOPLE
Kyshona Armstrong

You can blame it on religion, you can blame it on the president
Blame it on the way that we were raised up, blame it on the government
We can be angry at each other, always pointing fingers
We could use every excuse, it’s so easy to do in the heat of it

Sisters and Brothers, when we gonna come together?

Chorus:
We’re fallen people livin’ in a fallen world
We’re fallen people, people who hurt

We’ve all had that moment, we’ve all fallen a little short
Isn’t there somethin' you wish you could take back, somethin' you're fighting for?
Look down the street, somebody's in need
Guns and bombs are goin’ off, tell me what's it all for

Sisters and Brothers, when we gonna come together 

Chorus

Judging at the first look
When we haven’t read the whole book
The only place to start is to love from where we are

Chorus
