lyrics

He floated out in the water, trying to survive, clinging to life.
He washed up on the seashore, no longer alive, he was not even 5.
We just stand there, watch idly, weigh the threat posed to our safety.

They’re sending out the distress call. It goes to voicemail after one ring.
We’re too busy to answer, trying to score points for political sides.
What does it mean? Who’s my neighbor? Who’s a killer? Am I my brother’s keeper?

When you died in the water, we saw you there.
When you died in the water, we tried to care. We didn’t care.

This world is a cruel place. I thought that I told you. We’re all just trying to live, but what if some harm should come. What if they kill my wife and kids? Suspicion as sacrosanct, spread fear in Jesus’ name.

What good will he find in us?
What good will Jesus find in us?
