What will it be today
Will you want your on way
Or will you think of others
And keep your selfishness at bay

Will you be a beacon
A light upon the hill
Help those who are seeking
Do your best to do God's will

What will it be today
Steady straight or compromise
In the decisions that you make
Will it be through yours or God's eyes

Will you be a blessing
In the righting of what's wrong
Will there be a lesson
As your day moves along

What will it be today
Will you look ahead without regret
A firm foundation, Godly laid
Every step along the path

Will you move to remove the selfishness
That seems to always be in the way
Thinking more of others
Unafraid, what will it be today

We've been living in the future
Since yesterday has passed
What will be tomorrow
Is anybody's guess

Will there be rocket ships to give us lifts
To where we want to go
Or sit on the couch and figure out
It all with mind control

Will we still gravitate to stuffing face
Or take our meals in pills
And will I still avoid the ones
That are clearly marked vegetable

Will the sun still shine on
To illuminate mankind
Or will our pasty complexions
Come from electric candlelight

Will we solve all of our problems
Yet still hang on to a few
Smoke em if you got em
After all what have we got to lose

While living in the future
With yesterday long gone
When it comes to tomorrow
What could possibly go wrong

Just when you thought that you'd had enough
Craziness is making another run
Remove the fork cause it ain't quite done
Grab your **** and buckle it up

We are all in for the wildest of rides
Pushing and pulling us out with the tide
Too late now to somehow change your mind
We've all slipped knee deep in the slide

Mad as a Hatter slather up buttercup
Here comes the batter looking for a home run
Out of the park when it comes to undone
At a loss for words feel free to hum

Beat your chest and drool on yourself
As you watch the world round you melt
These are the cards that we've been dealt
Where danger dangles under the kilt

Sand yourself down when things get rough
Craziness is making a lunge
Just when you think that you've had enough
Grab your **** and buckle it up

Can We try and come together
put the past behind
form different opinions
forget when we said, i hope you die

Can We move beyond that moment
of hatred in our hearts
take ahold compassion
right here, right now, a brand-new start

Can We prove to generations
that this is how it's done
change the face of hatred
into a face that exudes love

Can We do this all in honesty
erase the line we've drawn
i'll do this for you, if you'll do this for me
forget the battles that we've fought

Can We try our best to do this
let bygones be bygones
do this before we miss it
Can We now do it all in love

Who'll be the first ones
To lay down their guns
To come in peace
For the least of these
With little time left
Who'll make a stand
And move beyond
To lay down their guns

Who out of love
Will lay down their guns
Be first to leap
For all the world to see
Raise empty hands
Taking a stand
Never give up
Laying down their guns

With all that's going on
We need to lay down our guns
If not you and me
Then who indeed
We must demand
All make a stand
There's been enough
Let's all lay down our guns
This isn't just about guns, we need to lay down all the weapons we use on each other from the hatred shown to those we disagree with to the prejudice's we have against those we don't understand. Who'll be the first to lay down their guns...

When God says don't
We decide to do

God says wait
We up and plow on through

When God says stop
We take another step

God says drop
Hang tight to all we have

When God says no
We take it as a yes

God says slow
That's when we hit the gas

When God says right
We shake it to the left

When God says give
We cling to what we have

When God says look
We close tighter our eyes

When God says come
We're the first to lag behind

When God showers us with love
We open umbrellas of hate

You'd think by now He'd have enough
But still pours on us His Grace

It's hard being sober
It's hard staying clean
Hard making a living
If you know what I mean

Hard loving your neighbor
Harder loving yourself
Could you do me a favor
And go bother somebody else

It's hard to smile in certain crowds
And not tell the truth sometimes out loud
It can be hard to make a move
When you're not sure of what to do

It can be hard to do what's right
In everybody's sight
Hard to extend the hand of kindness
To those you do not like

It's hard to know when to let go
Be it people or worrying
Hard at times to give up hope
And other times a simple thing

It's hard being a witness
In a world that's part of you
Hard like nobody's business
If you want to know the truth
