Faces - Mindy Braasch
Inspiration:
I was inspired to write this song when I read a newsletter by an organization called Partners. To learn more about them, visit my M.A.D. page.
Lyrics:
People walking, people talking, but there’s no one listening
People saying to people praying that there’s no one hearing their
Cries against lies that reach up to the skies
Pretty soon they’ll come tumbling
Chorus:
Where have we come, what have we done?
There’s people starving
When will we learn we cannot turn
From the faces of dying
People staying in their own places and they’re fighting what’s true and real
People’s eyes are shut to the lies and regulating how they feel with their
Flaws in the laws, cover up what they saw
Trying to make it go away
Chorus
Cover your face, cover your face
You want them to go away
They have a face, they have a face
Ignoring won’t make them go away
Chorus:
Where have we come, what have we done?
There’s people starving
When will we learn we cannot turn
From the faces of dying
There’s too much for you to comprehend
Try to wrap your mind around this bend
It’s the end, will you play it again?
There’s so much you haven’t heard
People walking, people talking, but there’s no one listening
