Driving down the street
What do you see outside your window
people tired worn and weak
So I guess I’ll roll down my window
Someone’s asking for a hand
Ill help my nameless brother
I guess that’s what god commands
So when we look outside our windows
Expansive views and concrete gates
We see people they are striving
Drinking coffee trying to wake
A safe haven where the rents paid
To have a home this month
Pushed east into the desert
We commute to work and rush
Outside my window flowers blooming
Out my window all is lost
Out my window who you’re fooling
We’re all about to pay the cost
So if someone’s asking for a handout
Or just wants a friendly smile
Love your neighbor and your people
Sisters mothers children wild
I still look outside my window
And greet the sunlight streaming in
despite the haze of life’s indifference
There a new day will begin
