Memphis May Fire Possibilities Lyrics

So caught up in our own day-to-day
We see lives in need and look the other way
I'm not a pessimist, but I think it's safe to say
This would be different if it was your family

We can't fathom not having a place to rest our heads
Can you imagine the pain of a newborn child that won't be fed?

It's so easy getting comfortable
We ignore the empty hands in need, thinking someone else will see them

Can you see the possibilities?
We have the ability to change the world
If we want to see a change we have to be it
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours

Day after day they continue to die
So we think our prayers go unheard,
But poverty ends where compassion begins
We can no longer deny it's up to us

It's up to us

We are the chosen ones, called to be bold
There is no time to hesitate
Today is the day we can break the mold

Can you see the possibilities?
We have the ability to change the world
If we want to see a change we have to be it
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours

Their starving eyes cry out for anyone to listen
Reaching out for anyone to care
Would we ignore them now if they were our own children
Or make a promise to always be there?

Remove the veil from your eyes
We could move mountains if we only tried
Remove the veil from your eyes
We hold the power in our hands to save their lives

Can you see the possibilities?
We have the ability to change the world
If we want to see a change we have to be it
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours
