More

(album: Poetry In Motion - 2017)

You see the money like the dollar is your friend now
You see the human as the race that you can win now
You see the animal as food to fill the plate now
You see your brother as the reason you can hate now
You see the family as little, two or three, so
You treat the rest as if the aren't even people
You trust the government plus you trust the steeple
Get on your knees, nothing's equal

We call more, more, more
More, more, more
They say until you got it all
You got nothing at all, at all
They cry more, more, more
Just give me more, more, more
And so I'm saying
Who are we and what have we become
And what do I keep dreaming of
What am I dreaming of

Yeah
What if we treated our daughters like our sons more
And told em living off your looks will leave you done for
And told em truth is in yourself and you're the reason
But we give em makeup and tell em "this you should believe in"
It's been a hundred years and these girls are not free
We let em vote and tell em that should make em happy
But they see that sex and prostitution's what we're after
We turn our sister to a beautiful disaster

More, more, more
It happens more, more, more
They say until you got it all
You've got nothing at all, at all
They cry more, more, more
Just give me more, more, more
And so I'm saying
Who are we and what have we become
And what do I keep dreaming of
What am I dreaming of
Can't stop dreaming of
What am I dreaming of

What if the pace was slower like the four seasons, and
What if "One Love" was something everyone believed in, and
What if a slap across the left was just a reason
To give the right every time the left was bleeding, and
What if the leaders were leadership that we needed, and
What if the bible learned to speak instead of preaching it
Like "love your brother like yourself" instead of "heathens", and
What if this world was a beautiful place to be in
Yeah, what if this world was a beautiful place to be in
What if this world was a beautiful place to be in
What if this world was a beautiful place to be in
Yeah, what if earth was a beautiful world to live in
What if that was more
Yeah, what if that was more
Yeah, and what if that was more
Yeah, and what if that was more
