Lyrics
THE SYSTEM
I know it seems too easy, but do you know God's might?
It's been your choice in past to let the devil fight your fight!
You've given him the power to control with pain:
To put a price on all that's free; the greedy get to gain!
Do you know that there's a system better than your own?
That gives no headaches, fears or shame and never leaves alone!
Money isn't motive, but choices best for all;
Payment deadlines don't exist or clocks upon the wall!
The system rules with justice; it governs through the soul.
It's citizens in freedom walk; a careful step their goal!
To never hurt or take away from any living thing;
Gives this system total power to guide, protect and bring...
The kind of world we dream to live, a perfect life in peace;
All freedom, joy and brotherhood; all war and hunger cease.
Do you know there's a truth that's perfect, pure and good,
You can rest in, just let go; love God the way you should?
But do you know that you can choose a perfect life?
To bring a system in this world to end all strife?
You know that you can change all systems that exist?
When you let love control your life; the truth no more resist!
I know it seems too easy, but do you know God's might?
It's been your choice in past to let the devil fight you fight!
You've given him the power to control with pain:
To put a price on all that's free; the greedy get to gain!
You've put yourselves before all else in ways you cannot see:
It's all selfish motives that will not let life - let it be!
You can topple Babylon with you own pure heart;
Surrender pride and look inside; is where you need to start!
No more to pick and choose a truth that vainly suits your mood;
But pure and honestly to search decisions that are good!
Do you know from man-made pain we all want to be free?
So if a love lies in you heart to hope for such a day;
Then my friend old ways you'll mend and we will find the way.
