phil keaggy - don't pass me by lyrics

Loading...

dusty roads, calloused feet,
the sun beats upon their heads.
they feel the pain, they touch the earth,
embrace the sick in their beds.

a child lies in agony,
her mama’s none left to spare,
when open mouths antic-p-te
a little bit of milk from anywhere.

and across the landscape will be drawn a painting of true humanity.

don’t p-ss me by, the night’s so long,
don’t ask me why it all went wrong.

our human need is crying out
as greed eats to the marrow.
do we ignore a suffering world just
to keep to the straight and narrow.

we turn aside to please ourselves,
and won’t give the time of day,
to the victims of injustice in a world
when we turn and look and walk the other way.

and justifying ourselves we ask, is this my neighbor?

don’t p-ss me by, the night’s so long,
don’t ask me why it all went wrong.

but i believe that we could change
at least the world of just one life.

true love has a different face,
no place for condescending pride.
that’s how it really ought to be,
giving ourselves to those in need,
that’s how it really ought to be.

don’t p-ss me by, the night’s so long,
don’t ask me why it all went wrong.
