What do I do?

When I see the unforgivable                                         Do I turn my head away

                                             And think on other things

 

When I hear the sounds of strife                                   Do  I shut my ears

 

                                               And listen to the music

 

When I feel the pain of a thousand burdened hearts     Do I close my eyes

                                                 

                                              And dance in the darkness

 

When someone tells me a story                                    Do I hear only what I want to

                                            

                                              And  justify justify justify

 

When the world disappears around me                         Do I smile and laugh

                   

                                             And say It was so good while it lasted

 

 

                                                               Or

 

When I see the unforgivable                                          Do I see what must be seen

                                                      And forgive

 

When I hear the sounds of strife                                    Do I speak out

                                                 Even if mine is the only voice

 

When I feel the pain of a thousand burdened hearts      Do I cry

                                                  

                                                     And offer solace

 

When someone tells me a story                                      Do I listen deeply

                                            And show them that they are heard

 

When the world disappears around me                          Do I grieve and mourn

                                                     And let the world go         

 

                                                         What do I do?
