It Just Is Not Right Songtext

von Jimmy LaFave

There are highways that lead
To the depths of our soul
We find the questions unasked
And stories untold
Of all of the people in need
We ignore in the lives that we lead
And turn from their sight
No, it just is not right
It could be you standing there
By the side of the road
A victim of life's circumstance
With nowhere to go
To be judged by people of faith
Who turn their beliefs into hate
And make darkness from light
No, it just is not right
Always remember
That for the grace of God, go you and I
If you see sadness or hunger
I hope that it brings a tear to your eye
We must awaken and find
That we can't run away
From that part of ourselves
That the world needs today
And for those who do not believe
Who hold tight to their lies and their greed
And laugh at the plight
Oh, it just is not right
