IN THE FLOWING TIDE

I see the dark
But where's the light
Shining in the day
Away from the light
I hear the sick
But where are the well
Too near to heaven
Too far from hell
We gotta climb out of these trenches
Where we sit in comfort and condemn
We were not called to be their judge
We were sent to go and love them
There where evil fights the good
There where no one believes
There where the city gambles
There among the thieves
There where blameless blood is spilled
There where the innocent dies
Out there where the world is changed
In the flowing tide.

I hear the cries
But where is the shoulder
Warming the heat
Leaving the cold to get colder
I see the lonely
But where is the love
Too busy to care
With those who have enough
We gotta grab apathy by the throat
Shove respectable against the wall
Open our hearts to a dirty world
Listen to their voices call
There where evil fights the good
There where no one believes
There where the city gambles
There among the thieves
There where innocent blood is spilled
There where love violently dies
Out there where the world is changed
In the flowing tide.
