My car broke down in Arizona,

Have to ride the bus again,

At ten-o-clock on Tuesday night,

With thirteen cents and a broken pen.

I put my backpack on the bench,

Tell two people I don't smoke,

See the cop across the street,

He thinks that I am selling dope,

I could have walked another block,

To get away from the scene.

Why does it always come to this,

Where zero meets fifteen?

And so I gave my thirteen cents,

To the man who peed his pants.

He passes out and falls on me,

I watch my change fall from his hand.

I see the lady next to me,

Holds her baby black blue.

The junkie gutter-punks keeps asking,

Where I got my new tattoo.

What does it matter anyway,

Thirteen cents or all I own?

How can I ever save the world,

On cup-o-soup and student loans?

I want to try and save the world,

But it never goes that way.

God I don't know what to do,

Down at Colfax and Broadway.

Now the man with no shoes on,

Says I don't know how to play.

He says I fumble all the time.

He thinks that I am John Elway.

I put my face down in my hands,

Water wells inside my eyes.

What do I have to give them?

Does it matter if I try?

I can't stand to see you suffer,

I try to intellectualize,

A formula to end you pain,

It doesn't work,

God knows I've tried.

Sometimes my cup is overfilled.

Sometimes I'm too afraid that I'm going to spill.

So i sit here and look at it, i am one of those people who seems to always! Have something go wrong to me and around me i have no idea how to react to any of it.. it just makes me Pray and feel for those who are lost and with out JEsus.

for me i always m being acused for selling drugs of some sort but i dont... always am explaining that and people judge me as they walk by me... But i live this life that Christ JEsus has called me too. i help out the homeless when i can even if it means not eating my self i give up so much in wonder HOW can i help people around when I cant really help my self.. I am a giver but i just want to know how can i help more but i know If they are unwilling to hear i cannot help... ALways ASKING GOD WHAT CAN I DO... to help and to be who he wants me to be so i am aplying for the rcmp haha in a way i can help its the national police force in Canada

I Cry for what its like out there people drunk hurting unloved and give nothing but hate back... a Nation a international countries a WORLD That lacks love... and we are meant to give the love and light to the world... But what stops us from doing that?

What holds us back?

is it Well other people are doing it so i am not going to?

sometimes we are empty and meant to trust God when we serve other times WE ARE too full and we may feel as if we will just loose it all...

LEts keep our Eyes upon Jesus Christ the author and perfector of our faith...

and reach a world that needs something more...

Even if they are mean to you ... turn the other cheek... If they dont wana hear then its their loss we tried. but we shouldnt give up...

What stops us from Doing what God commands us to do?

Excellent song brother, you have a very compassionate and loving heart for what you look around and see. Well said, we are all to be ministers of the gospel, it was Jesus that said the healthy don't need a physician. Thank you for sharing. :emot-hug:

Thanks. I also posted it up cause some people dont see the compassion in it all... they dont seem to share the love to those who need it!

Thanks
