Injustice he peels Wounds he heals, His life is a mission He has no need of possession. He gives nothing but charity And wants nothing more than your prosperity, He will accept nothing but your love In hopes you turn to him above. The children he teaches Their lives he reaches, So much he cares Everything of his is theirs. He’s on a crusade for freedom He will not allow himself to condemn, None he will blame He sees everyone the same. He has lived a life of deposition And has only the happiest disposition, He has found lives built upon lies He can’t reach them all no matter how he tries. He wishes for little in his life Just that he can love his wife, And for your salvation He doesn’t lust for elation. He’s trying to save his town Crying out, “Riverside will not go down!” His neighbors see his pain His calls will not be in vain. He follows only the almighty Never stopping no matter the calamity, His cause is hard and just So with the Lord is all his trust. He’s found meaning and shares it with lives that are lacking It is as if he is bound to destroy evil from teeming, He’s the uneducated man that to the intelligent brings an awakening He’s the hungry man who feeds the starving.
