Greetings every one. Today's blog is a different one because this morning, watching the CBS Morning show, I watched Darius Rucker being interviewed and hearing what he said got me to thinking. And goofy as I am, the words coming into my mind sounded like Darius was singing them in a song. So, I grabbed a piece of paper and wrote this Darius Rucker inspired song (Oh what's up world?). Now, why should you care? About the song - you don't but what I would ask is that you think about what you are doing now, in this stage of your life? Are you contributing or coasting or what? If you're like me, you're probably thankful for all your blessings but most likely you're also frustrated why we have such a growing mess across our country and this world. And then I realized . . . we're not here to just enjoy, we're here to contribute. If we're not not doing what we can, where we can, as best we can to help be a part of the good that is needed, we're not being a part of the solution that God has enabled us to be. So here is my song from this morning - and yes, when I read it again, I hear it in Darius' voice . . . | Oh what's up world? Good morning world, how ya doing? The news tells me "everyone's a loosing" What's right is wrong and what's wrong is right By the end of the day, I can't sleep at night Oh what's up world . . . It's not yet what it needs to be If it will, it's up to me Oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . I wonder why so much is so bad? The good are mad and the bad are glad Oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . It's no longer what's best for me and you The mindset now is that we have to choose Oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . I know it will be hard and I'm not crazy Blood, sweat and tears, just don't be lazy Oh what's up world . . . We gotta stop fighting, gotta stop being angry Gotta start listening and stop the apathy Oh what's up world . . . We use to be thinking about all the others Time for action, call the Dads, call the Mothers Oh what's up world . . . Because we don't need to see eye to eye There's plenty of ugly, it's okay to cry I need you to join me in this good fight Doing what's right Oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . oh yeah . . . I know it will be hard and I'm not crazy Blood, sweat and tears, just don't be lazy It's not yet what it needs to be If it will, it's up to me Oh what's up world . . . |
But then, what about you - - - want to join in?
