Everything I See

|
I’m unable to forget
Everything I see reminds me
that the price of freedom is too costly
and we don’t even know what it means
We fight in wars and we die in poverty
We oppress each other for a dream
I just cannot pretend
that I don’t see my world
Ignoring the lies we’ve told and absorbed
Removing ourselves from the obvious blame
We carry on with our dangerous greed
Bursting with pride over our technical feats
J’S LYRICS
What's the meaning, it's hard to get it.
I guess I'm overly being idealistic
thinking we got it wrong,
or maybe missed it.
In the field when the serpent paid us a visit
since we lost vision
seeing what we despise.
In the mirror not witnessing God's image.
I know the truth gon find us
one day when we open our mind up,
but to be honest…
I just can’t understand
What’s made us all so insane
To presume we have the right to kill
and defile the Earth with our waste
We can’t keep on with bloody blindness
with our constant thrust toward destruction

Ash McDaniel Tennessee
I started playing the guitar and writing songs at 15 and have been at it ever since, even though I've "traveled the breadth of extremities" (Joni Mitchell, Hejira) between then and now. Here I am, again.
