Sounwave - Sing About the Beloved Country (English 12 AP Creative Project) lyrics

[Hook] When the lights shut off And it's my turn to settle down My main concern Promise that you will sing about me Promise that you will sing about me [Verse] I woke up this morning and figured I write I felt troubled the other night I figured that I could get sight Of a peace of mind I'm behind on what's really important My mind is really distorted, I find nothing but trouble in my life I'm fortunate I was born in a dream This mess outside we call a country is quite a routine And every day these glances outward getting tougher to watch But here safely inside my house I tie my psyche in knots Riddled in a Christian society trapped in dilemma Between brotherhood and the notion that we could pretend Another man who walks the same hills and same old valleys as I do Could only be created to walk two or three steps behind you Oh, Almighty God. But I don't know what God is talking The same one giving gifts only shifts to the one that's balking At David fighting Goliath as high as his praises flying Can only lie in the same place, useless in that defiance That duality only teaches David how to be David What's previously permissible now is just plain outdated In my mind, the high tide is one that we have created With our double image of God, the vision has just been shaded In the fear that white walls might fall in the love of Jesus Something doesn't love a wall but somehow we need it To protect our possessions in repression that's somehow kind The logic to follow such a statement escapes my mind In return for hypocrisy, we gain at another's expense Tense in our own beliefs with no room to even repent And we mustn't let South Africa continue that There is room to be remarkable for both white and black Now, to elaborate, allow me a minute (gunshots)
