Hurting Land (McMorris Tim)

Hey, tell me what’s goin’ on Another live’s been taken, another family’s shaken We’re out of control, seems like nobody cares Until you lost one of yours, or they lose one of theirs Our family and friends, they’re all leaving so fast As they pay with their lives full of mistakes, of the past The hatred, the murder, the killing, so violent Continues to increase as good men stay silent Kids can’t go to school without fear that someone, May be out of control; come to class with a gun We have let this go too far Now it’s time to take a stand We must help each other out Learn to help our fellow man There are people that we know That we know need a helping hand It is time to do our part To help heal our hurting land So here we now stand, our people are torn As fatherless children do constantly mourn The role model figure, that they never had How things would be different if they had a dad Our bloodthirsty culture, it fuels the fire As mass killing death tolls climb higher and higher How long till we wake up? Take back what we’ve lost The price of inaction has too great a cost There’s so many ways now that things can go wrong And so many people feel they don’t belong Our hearts have grown cold, and we curse above Yet it’s us that’s lacking ‘cause we lost our love Our love for each other, now sits on the shelf As most of us really only love ourselves If all of us are honest, we know we could do more To solve the problems that most of us ignore We have let this go too far Now it’s time to take a stand We must help each other out Learn to help our fellow man There are people that we know That we know need a helping hand It is time to do our part To help heal our hurting land It’s a hurting land, it’s a hurting land We’re a hurting land, we’re a hurting land That needs to change, that needs to change We have let this go too far Now it’s time to take a stand We must help each other out Learn to help our fellow man There are people that we know That we know need a helping hand It is time to do our part To help heal our hurting land
