rpm x1000 - one mission that must not fail lyrics

one mission that must not fail lyrics
[verse 1]
where i stand from, i see the beauty of the sun
the birds and the trees and watch the children run
but as i look in the sky at the sunshine
there’s a cloud over me and a thought in my mind
people starving in the world, ethiopians
they’re born by the thousands and die by the millions
baby born one day in a world so vague
die on the next because of the plague
the mother cradles her child, hoping “not you”
and when their life leaves their body, they die as two
screams roar from the ground, up to the sky
because another one of god’s children’s passed us by
to be blind to the massacre that must be
to see people with leprosy die slowly
a nightmare that’s there, [?]
again and again, i say it’s just not fair
to spend our money on artificial things
while people in the world are just starving
but we don’t care because it don’t affect us
we live by the dollar, in god we trust
but those that have feelings might signify
and say “look to the heavens, god tell us why”
tears fall from your eyes when you hear this story
for god is the kingdom, the power and the glory
and these are our children, familiar to earth
and have it all that comes with it from the [air/heir?] of birth
but this vision i have is a heart full of sorrow
for those that suffer, to them there’s no tomorrow
evolution at times is like one bad curse
things are supposed to get better but they only get worse
people talk about pay and they pay no mind
the only thing that makes sense to them + the dollar sign
don’t want to admit it but realize this
that man will be extinct and no longer exist
but if you stop for a minute, put down the book
you’ll see that things aren’t good as they look
[verse 2]
i’mma take you way back, as back as i can
to a place that was known as the motherland
known to you and i from our history
a land once free, that was said to be
a place in where people live in harmony
a sight to be seen where beauty lies
and the animals run and the birds saw the skies
but the sun has set down on this place
burning a hole in the human race
but if we come together in the struggle to strive
to help those that can’t make it and keep ’em alive
so the words i speak, it’s one that’s true
because they don’t have a life like me and you
from the plains of africa to the new york gutter
time to sit down with that neighbor, share the bread and b+tter
time will prevail and the good will hail
and this is one mission that must not fail
overseas, across the land there’s a sight that lies
for us to be seen by our own eyes
your heart will burn and your stomach will turn
because of the knowledge that you just learned
without the words to express what you feel
you keep asking yourself “is this for real?”
so you bow your head and attempt to pray
because god has given us the easy way
but did we ever notice or did it appear
that the body count goes greater every year
but remember these words and keep this thought
that each time you turn away another life falls short
[verse 3]
millions of people with helpless cries
a child yells out and another one dies
our seed of the future robbed effortlessly
without the power to live, so the soul runs free
the dreams and desires of a life that lasts
becomes deserted with the thought and a thing of the past
so reminisce of this is where we’re at
no man, woman or child should live like that
this reality persists and exists
and i just can’t see my way through this…
