The Wayside - Hit the Switch

The status of this matter is impeding

The less we give attention to its strength subsides

What better way to think

Neglect what we all need

My tolerance will overcome

My interest will inflict no one

Compassion acknowledged as the ever burning light

I’ve opened the door, for the first time I feel your pain

As if it was my own

Never again shall I act without this concern

My fellow man no better then his neighbor

They compete for the same prize

But never think to coincide

If we should emphasize

If we should stress the importance of matters in our lives

Could they sacrifice?

Understanding this

Could solve many things

If they can’t perceive it, we're lost left to defend harmless

You’ve yet to grasp the problem

Oh radiant light, guide me through these ramshackle times

The feeling of despondency has overwhelmed the cause and now nobody cares

Well let me be the first to strike against this

This world desperately needs

What we’ve come to forsaken!
