Like a bolt of electric through your veins
and you know it'll never feel the same
all alone on the shores you lied to me
our souls were meant to be

Song for the Nation
/ The / nation / gets the / leader / that they / deserve /
/ Stop / your complaining / we created / this curse/ 
/ Can only / look forward / cannot / go back / in reverse /
/ We / allowed this / to happen / went from / bad to worse /

/ A / nation lost / getting / what they deserve /
/ Can only / go forward / in a / future / that is / blurred /
/ Leaders / elected / blindly / by democracy /
/ We turned / a blind eye / to dishonest / hypocrisy /

Chorus
/ If we had / not committed / great sins / in the past /
/ These messengers / of evil / God would / never have / sent / x3
/ These / decadent leaders / all crooked / and bent /
/ As a nation / we have to / pray / and repent /

/ Yes / we have / to do it / so / don't be / afraid /
/ Have to / be brave / when / changes / are made /
/ For the / nation / to heal / new foundations / must be laid /
/ Walls must / come down / dues / have to / be paid /

/ Be of / one mind / that we / may prosper / 
/ Fix up / past mistakes / and conquer / the monster /
/ The / lie of / democracy / the / language of deceit /
/ Despite the evi / dence / we blindly / follow the elite /

/ The state of / the people / is the / poor / in the street /
/ Making a living / and making / ends meet /
/ The sad part / of this story / is we / put them / into power /
/ To steal /our livelihoods / from their / ivory towers /

/ The water / from our taps / the food / from our plates /
/ The health / from our bodies / the money / from our graves /
/ Lives are sacrificed / on the altar / of profit /
/ There / has to / be a way / that we can / stop it /

"Always (I Look to the Cross)"
© Brett Gordon, 2023

Through the cracking mirror, I see my  reflection,
A fractured image of a broken man.
I pause for a moment to study the pieces,
Wondering aloud how it all began.

I’ve got my face looking out my window,
It’s cold outside and it’s raining again.
Another page browns, and I’m another year older,
The kids in the streets remind me of them.

Always, I look to the cross,
Even when I’m not looking.
Always, I look to the cross,
Even when I’m not looking.

The winds that cry in the darkest evening,
Continue to scream out my name.
Jesus saved my life and gave it new meaning,
A prodigal son – I’ll never be the same.

Now when I look into that brighter mirror,
I can see His face looking back at me.
The years I spent crying me a river,
Keeps bringing me back to Calvary.

Always, I look to the cross,
Even when I’m not looking.
Always, I look to that cross,
Even when I’m not looking.

Always (I Look to the Cross)
