Light The City

[Verse 1: nobigdyl.] Light bulb broken in the kitchen Grab a chair we need to fix it Deliver us our daily bread and give us water livin' Cause I keep seeing all these children out here water whipping See that there on television But we don't care cause it ain't where we livin' Besides we go to Africa to cure some sickness But not the other side of the town cause they just way to different Bear the name of Christians But we don't look like Christ we do not live the mission We so inconsistent That's not even intermission Brother do you love the poor Let me ask again, do you love the Lord That's two yeses or two no's Jesus freezing in the snow We just doing what we know Looking out for number one But if we keep being so cold How could we be like the Son The Son He told us to be low He will raise us to be free But if we do not love the least How can we love who we ain't see The darkness deep like submarines We need the light to intervene [Hook: Mogli The Iceburg] Past the celebrity status And all the glitz and the glam Take a look behind the curtain, things and always what they seem Just shine a light on the city Shine a light on the city When the cameras turn off And then the night turns from day When the show is all over the problems don't go away Just shine a light on the city Shine a light on the city [Verse 2: Mogli The Iceburg] Ten bands Fifty bands One hundred bands All in this collection plate This tax free business outta hand Tell these people they'll reap more the more that they give Ignore the scriptures make these folks feel good and keep them content You know it's all about numbers A tithing check shows your faithful An infant baptism and sinner's prayer is really what saves you Small group once every month A self-help daily devotional And a prayer every now and then when your life gets dysfunctional Tell me how we gonna justify eighty grand on the steeple when there's four thousand people sleeping every night on the streets What type of Gospel you believe forgets the people in need When we've got homeless veterans freezing with the mental disease This is the Bible belt son We're living up to that name We come together as one and trust me these problems will change Crosses on every corner A Church on every last lane If we're the hands and the feet, right now we're crippled and lame [Hook] [Bridge: Mogli The Iceburg] Now we like to bow our heads and just pray In the comfort of our home and watch that TV all day What you doing homie go and get up and do what you was lead Don't forget that without action and work your faith is dead And now we lift up our heads and just pray In the comfort of our home and watch that TV all day Get up and shine a light on the city Shine a light on the city [Hook]
