Where You At?, by Derrick Carter
As I stop, and take the time
To inventory, the inside of my mind
I realize, it's not as full as it used to be.
With images of justice, or desires of liberty
The world has changed, or is it me that's new?
A different set of morals from a different set of clues
So still I wonder, is this all there is to life?
The ever changing cycles, in a world that's damp and ripe
There must be more, yeah, my heart I hold to this.
I've enjoyed love and I've seen the peace and bliss
But as you know, all things must end, except the need for faith
And the spirit that's within to keep you strong.
Move forward with power, program yourself to feel,
With depth enough to know what's up, and heart to sense the real.
Where you at?
As I stop, for the frame we set aside
Below the baseline, a secret place awaits for us to hide.
To pass the time as the war goes on-and-on.
A post-apocalyptic sunset, a post-apocalyptic dawn
Of just a thought of the world we want possessed
A place that wasn't honest, was just a house with an address.
Of existence, wrought with fear and mistrust, a life inside a box,
No life inside of us.
Find your soul, use your inner voice,
The road less traveled, is now the path of choice.
Realize, with time comes change
New attitudes, new values, priorities rearranged.
Move forward with power, program yourself to feel,
With depth enough to know what's up and heart to sense the real.
