Don't Let Go
We listen to the evening news
Hear things we can't believe
Get up and change the channel
And pretend we didn't see
The events unfold around us
And we lock ourselves inside
Thinking that behind closed doors
It won't effect our lives
We watch as others struggle
And turn the other way
Tell ourselves someone else
Will come and save the day
Just when did we stop caring
No longer lend a hand
Forget to show compassion
The love for fellow man
What happened to forgiveness
Where did the pride of giving go
We must find a way to turn back time
And make sure we don't let go
Don't Let Go
Carl Joseph Roberts
