Do You See

from Laments by City Psalms

lyrics

Do we see with His Son's eyes
Do we see the mommas they're on their knees crying
Do we see our brothers on the street corners dying
Those who stand behind the pulpit lying
Do we see the ladies being sold as slaves
Only value their bodies so they say let's slay
Do we see the confusion of our sexual ways
Everything is accepted, guess that's the new wave
And are the fathers still leaving their homes
And people get a rise out of hurting the poor
Tired of waiting Lord, when You taking charge
We just wanna live our lives and in the end hear good job
He says that we're the answer, but we don't get it
They're banning His voice, why don't He come fix it
He put it back on us, He says we have His Spirit
But I can't see how we can make any difference
It's hard to see how we can make any difference

Do you see what we see
Do we share the same thought
Is it hard to stand by and not turn our eye

He gave us a heart like His
Do we shed His tears, do we ever lament
I guess we're too distracted by our marriages
They crumble like bricks, kids scarred from the split
Or is it the back and forth on
If an unborn baby is living being yet
Or maybe it's oppression, the depression got us stressing
Taking all the pills just to deal with it
They listen to the father of lies
He fuels the wars and the genocides
It's hard to even go outside
Got my hazard suit on during a date night
These days got us questioning everybody
Cough, sneeze, no mask on, threat to everybody
And we're saying God, go get everybody
But we have the beautiful feet, we're His body
We have the beautiful feet, we're His body

Do you see what we see
Do we share the same thought
Is it hard to stand by and not turn our eye
Are we afraid to speak out
Through all the questions and doubt
Do we avoid it
Can we feel it

How the city grieves that something isn't right
Her people shun the ones they never meant to fight
What was disgraceful now is open in plain sight
Lord how long, oh how long

Do you see what we see
Do we share the same thought
Is it hard to stand by and not turn our eye
Are we afraid to speak out
Through all the questions and doubt
Do we avoid it
Can we feel it
