Micah Bournes - Is Justice Worth It? lyrics

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
