Fight for Things that Last

Talk about hope and dignity.
Try to look beyond the decay I see.
More than a word to set me "free."
Help me see real meaning.
Make me what I ought to be.

When I tell you: "No, I don't really care."
When your invitation meets a vacant stare.
Please, give me a needed kick in the ass.
Please, make me fight for the things that last.

When a lonely stranger needs your hope and joy.
When a starving mother cannot feed her boy.
When a dying patient cries out in pain.
Will I stop to help them or move in the passing lane?
When my time is over will the ledger say:
"He was a slave to pleasure 'til his dying day.
Thrills and games took all he gave.
None of his old masters will now join him in the grave"?
