Lyrics

Remember When

Remember when you first learned about poverty?
You cocked your head, said daddy why don’t we give them food?    
There was no hesitation in your heart
You had the answer at the start

VERSE 2
Remember when you first heard about homelessness
And then you said I’ve got some space next to my bed
Then they told you not to give at thing to them
So you’re just heeding what they said

CHORUS
You were told it’s not that simple
You can’t just give to those who need
Then you heard some lame excuses
That never made sense to me

VERSE 3
Remember when you first heard about racism?
Your wrinkled nose said all there is to say about it
Then you were slowly indoctrinated into it
Til you don’t notice the cherry pit


CHORUS
You were told it’s not that simple
You can’t just give to those in need
Then you heard some lame excuses
That never made sense to me

BRIDGE
We can give a little more of what we have
Use your voice stand up for those who are without
Don’t let the simple solutions fall
Remember when you were small
