2Gether Lyrics

Problems don't sit around waiting for solutions to arrive

They don't sit eagerly waiting to be erased

They grow, mature, spread, and do as much damage as they can

Devastation doesn't mop up the effects of its presence

It stretches its tendrils as far as it is allowed to

In the absence of fences made of opposition

And containment borne of hope

It invades, conquers and oppresses

Without a single thought

Evil doesn't wave the white flag of surrender

Sending out its GPS location so that

Good may more easily apprehend it

And place him in handcuffs

Tyranny never wakes to the realization

Of its own horror

Causing it to relent

It has never, from the moment Adam but the fruit

Until now

Surrendered the castle to freedom's reign

Gluttony has yet to come to terms with its inward focus

It has never even contemplated defecting

Crossing enemy lines for reprogramming

He remains perfectly content not thinking of anyone else

The uprooting of evil, malice and injustice

Has always been done ON PURPOSE

It was a mission SOUGHT OUT

By those who couldn't be bought out

By ease and complacency

Weather

Sling and stone

Sword and shield

Musket and bayonet

Or AR-15 & Kevlar

Men of honor

And women if valor

Have always geared up

When tyranny is reared up

They didn't sit idly, drowning in complacency

Waiting for

What is contrary to the good and the pure

To simply leave

They made it a point to organize

Recruit help, call friends

And call-in favors

So that many may taste

The sweet flavors

Offered by freedom's presence

Never has the passive

Stood as a victorious warrior

Sword in hand

Blood-staining her face, regaining her breath

One foot planted on the neck

Of a would-be genocidal fool

Only those belonging to the family of Vigilance

Have ever made a real difference in the lives of Adam's children

These are those who sense danger before it hits the horizon

These are those who understand losing a single liberty

Is to place all freedoms at risk

As the distant sounds of tyranny draw close

Unheard by the masses

They ready swords, shield

Grenade and fortitude

Ready to give their all for those

Unprepared to give at all

Loss may be probable

Death may be certain

But they stand ready

Holding to the truth as stated by the late Bob Marley

"De people who are tryin' to mek dis world worse ain't tekin' a day off

How can I?

Light up the darkness!
