Stricken my insomnia I lay in bed wide awake
I'm plagued by nightmares about the selfish days I take
My wants have risen above my shoulds and my needs
And I've neglected the less fortunate with narcicism and greed
I've followed the voices that have lead me to my aspirations
But I've ignored the cries of the suffering in desperation
I've reached for the stars to obtain my personal goals
But this empty feeling remains leaving a void inside my soul
We all should aspire to fullfil our hopes and our dreams
But we also should answer the call of the helpless and their screams
There are some who have wasted away their lives with poor decisions
And there are others who deserve a script with a second revision
I believe we make our choices with a calculated intellect
But I also believe that life deals cards with a messed up deck
A tornado rips up a town and hurricane destroys a city
Yet there are some who perceive those without any remorse or pity
It may seem like I'm at the pulpit on Sunday and preaching
But my message should resonate to the masses that I'm seeking
Listen closely and open your eyes to observe what's around you
The hungry and hurting are looking for someone to live through
Even if it encompasses only an hour of your day
Those 60 minutes mean more than sixty dollars of your pay
I'm not telling you to lose yourself in the sacrifice for others
I'm asking you to protect and serve all your needing brothers
The good sumaritan helps themselves before their peers
And if you do this I'll guarantee you that your life will be changed for years
