Phil Keaggy - Don't Pa** Me By lyrics

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 anticipate A little bit of milk from anywhere And across the landscape will be drawn a painting of true humanity Don't pa** 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 pa** 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 pa** me by, the night's so long Don't ask me why it all went wrong
