FRUSTRATED


We’re tired of repetition
We’re tired of empty words
We can’t just sing our songs
And watch our cities burn

We’ve prayed our prayers
We’ve shared our stuff
We’ve given charity
It’s not enough……cuz


Justice is what they cry for
Justice is what they need
It’s time we stop just singing
And rise up on our feet

And cry….

This is the generation
With passion and frustration
Our hearts ablaze and burning bright
To take what’s wrong and make it right


Inside our hearts we know there’s more
We’re tired of doing what we’ve done before..cuz
We haven’t been dared to touch the poor
But we hear them knocking outside our door…..they’re saying


Justice is what we cry for
Justice is what we need
It’s time you stop just singing
And rise up on your feet…..

And cry….

This is the generation
With passion and frustration
Our hearts ablaze and burning bright
To take what’s wrong and make it right
