Catch The Spirit

It's not hard to catch the spirit
When you know what you should do.
Don't you feel the eyes of a hungry world
Reaching for your hand
And the voices of a world that has no hope
Begging you to understand
For the price of a pack of cigarettes
Someones' life can be changed
Perhaps a child that cannot walk
Or a man who cannot see
Perhaps a teen who has no hope
Might find her life set free.
Perhaps someone who faces death
Might find the will to live
Then you will know the inner glow
He lives because you give
For that extra cup of coffee
Or that high calorie treat
You might make yourself live longer
And let the poor eat
Then, when you stand at the judgement seat
Upon the golden chairs
The Lord will say "Show him through
He changed the world, He cared."

Black And White

You're black, I'm white
I'm me, you're you
We stand at opposite corners
With our own narrow views.

I'm wrong, you're right
And I don't think I like you
This whole world is acting the same way we do.

God made you in color
While he left me white
But that gives us no reason
To fuss and to fight.

If I hold out my hand
And you lean toward me,
We can still be brothers
Like the Lord meant us to be.
