The word of the Lord came to Aaron Lewis concerning America:
As I walk along these streets
I see a man that walks alone
Distant echo of people’s feet
He has no place to call his own
A shot rings out from a roof overhead
A crackhead asks for change nearby
An old man lies in an alleyway dead
A little girl lost just stands there and criesWhat would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you doA boy just 13 on the corner for sale
Swallows his pride for another hit
Overpopulation, there’s no room in jail
But most of you don’t give a s***
That your daughters are porno stars
And your sons sell death to kids
You’re so lost in your little worlds
Your little worlds you’ll never fixWhat would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you doYou turn away
As I walk along the streets
Soaking up the acid rain
Underneath the taxi cabs
I hear the streets cry out in vainWhat would you do, if it was you
Would you take everything
For granted like you do

My experience has shown me that when God calls us out of something, he also calls us into something. This “word” you’ve shared is powerful, but I find myself waiting for the second part.
And The Rock Cries Out … or the rocks cry out.
I love staind !
Chris, I totally agree. Secular artists often make very astute observations about the realities life but fail offer a viable alternative.
