micah bournes - is justice worth it? lyrics

Loading...

a lot of people see justice as the most futile thing
you can do with your life
give your life completely to business and
you see the money piling up
be a health nut-
eat right, go to the gym, and
your muscles will grow and your body will look good and you’ll see
results

but when it comes to justice
it seems like you just can’t get ahead

you patch up one hole and
something else rips open you
bring peace to one region and
war breaks out in another you
rebuild after an earthquake and a tsunami hits
and you work
and you work
and you work
and there’s never any profit there’s
no bank where you can store a surplus amount of justice in

stability is never permanent
something always tips and people always ask

is it even worth it

and that question
though understandable it’s
i mean quite frankly it’s ridiculous

and it rarely comes from those who are actually tired from pursuing justice and not just tired of the idea
it
rarely comes from people who’ve labored
for years
and have good reason to ask it
and
you know why they never ask?

those types of people
become friends
with those
who suffer
family even
because it’s one thing
to wonder if
someone else’s freedom is worth fighting for

but when you begin to identify with that someone else
commune with them
that’s when the question
is no longer worth asking
that’s when it becomes offensive even

what do you mean is it worth my time?
that doesn’t even deserve an answer
i don’t care how long it takes
i don’t care how many times we fail
i don’t care how little progress is made

you never
stop fighting
for your own
