Prompt / Lyrics
Each day the sun rises Seldom new surprises Some goes right some goes wrong Days too short days too long Turn a knob fresh water flows End most days with television shows Have a car but gas prices are high So many reasons to stress and wonder why we try Modern issues modern stress Will they like my hair is this the right dress A woman we know but never met Has a small radio no television set She drags a jar nine miles for a ration of brackish water Its been two months since she buried her daughter Real world issues real world stress How long can one survive in this filth and mess Just off our shore the poorest you'll ever see Living in the mud yet no water to drink in the land Haiti The wealth we have amassed the greatest treasure ever seen When it comes to Haiti of each one here no hands are clean Big picture issues big picture stress One whines over discomfort but for others couldn't care less Tax breaks for the super wealthy Luxuries and food to keep us healthy Some have so much money for themselves They would remain super wealthy even after building every Haitian family a house This isnt sustainable and a moral weight Solving an issue like Haitian poverty then America would be great We don't worry about the Haitians Instead we worry about sending migrants back to their nations We build up mistrust and animosity Personal comfort allows us to ignore what we don't want to see Take off the blinders open your eyes look and see we're creating more problems than we're solving and must ask is this really who we want to be
