Inches From Life

There's something wrong inside of us

It's important to discuss

A narrow mind a hardened heart

And this is just the very start

Frustration gets the best of me

So I dont speak coherently

We are are taught to go along

We need to figure out it might be wrong

You oughta know you can be inches from life

And never live at all

You oughta know that our pride is our downfall

There's no need to stand up tall

No one knows what's going on

Even those who cause oppression

Most of which dont realize

Uneasy smiles and blackened eyes

Could it be there's something real

Not always known but you can feel

The presence of an absolute

That our lives cant substutute
