First Priority - Shelter

If planet earth is our mother

Then as an urban dweller in a concrete world

I feel as if I’m a wayward son

If God’s our father we’re all brothers

— so if we don’t connect or we lose respect

All we’ve made will be undone

Turn off the road and check the map

Find out where I’m really at

Where I want and where I want to go

Redirect my energy — be the man I want to be

This is it this will be my first priority

Without truth life’s a desert

So I searched for souls that could console

And satisfy this blazing thirst

With all I’ve learned I just can’t revert

To live a lie and justify.

Inside I’d just die or burst

To re-connect with my family

My life’s goal my heart my soul

What else will satisfy?
