Good People/Fire on the Mountain

Song: Good People

Artist: Jack Johnson

I realize I already posted this song in regaurds to basically the same situation. But, in light of the most recent Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage, this song instantly came to mind. In fact it was the first song to come up on my iPod today. I do not want to personally offend anyone. But I do not agree with the ruling. I believe that marriage should be between a MAN and a WOMAN. I believe in God's law of marriage. Though I don't agree with the ruling I will respect it. I will respect those who have different opinions and beliefs from me. That's ok. We are free to choose for ourselves. But I expect the SAME respect for my beliefs and feelings as well. We need to have more love, respect and compassion one for another, despite our differences. I believe in loving the sinner but not the sin. I will not condone the law, but I will respect it. I don't hate gay/trans/lesbian/bi people. They are people, and children of God, who deserve to be treated with respect. For years, since the beginning of time, marriage between a man and a woman has worked. It is evidence that our society needs it. Truth is truth. #GodWins

You win
It's your show, now
So what's it gonna be
'Cause people
Will tune in
How many train wrecks do we need to see?
Before we lose touch of
We thought this was low
It's bad getting worse so

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that and
With a rattle a tat
Testing one two,
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused,
Got too much to lose
Gimme some truth
Now whose side are we on?
Whatever you say
Turn on the boob tube
I'm in the mood to obey
So lead me astray by the way, now

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

Sitting round feeling far away
So far away but I can feel the debris
Can you feel it?
You interrupt me from a friendly conversation
To tell me how great its all gonna be
You might notice some hesitation
'Cause it's important to you, it's not important to me
Way down by the edge of your reasons
It's beginning to show
And all I really wanna know is...

Where'd all the good people go?
I've been changing channels
I don't see them on the TV shows
Where'd all the good people go?
We got heaps and heaps of what we sow

They got this and that
With a rattle a tat
Testing one, two
Now what you gonna do?
Bad news, misused, give me some truth
You got too much to lose
Whose side are we on today, anyway?
OK, whatever you say.
Wrong or resolute but in the mood to obey
Station to station desensitizing the nation
Going, going, gone.

Song: Fire on the Mountain

Artist: Hanson

I have already posted this song as well, but it's a pretty good description of what's going on in the world today.

"We're mending Babylon, trying to right the wrong."

We sit secure in time-honored traditions made
Never wondering where or when the sickle may come
If we don't seek our knowledge to be greater men
When the rain starts falling gonna drown before we get our feet wet

We build our ivory towers to protect us from the flood
A fleet of vessels made of wood so they won't rust
But can we see the bottom of the bottle when we start to drink?
There's fire on the mountain fire and it's coming our way

Can we pick the pieces up
We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong
Can we pick the pieces up

Live learn life love die dust gone

There's fire on the mountain

Can we pick the pieces up
We're mending Babylon
Tryin' to right the wrong
Can we pick the pieces up

Live learn life love die dust gone

"Just because you're taught that something's right and everyone believes it's right, it don't make it right." - Mark Twain, Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
