Light the City - Mogli the Iceburg, Nobigdyl.

Light bulb broken in the kitchen

Grab a chair we need to fix it

Deliver us our daily bread and give us water livin'

Cause I keep seeing all these children out here water whipping

See that there on television

But we don’t care cause it ain’t where we livin'

Besides we go to Africa to cure some sickness

But not the other side of the town cause they just way to different

Bear the name of Christians

But we don’t look like Christ, we do not live the mission

We so inconsistent

That’s not even intermission

Brother, do you love the poor?

Let me ask again, do you love the Lord

That’s two yeses or two no’s

Jesus freezing in the snow

We just doing what we know

Looking out for number one

But if we keep being so cold

How could we be like the Son

The Son, He told us to be low

He will raise us to be free

But if we do not love the least

How can we love who we ain’t see

The darkness deep like submarines

We need the light to intervene

Past the celebrity status

And all the glitz and the glam

Take a look behind the curtain, things aren’t always what they seem

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

When the cameras turn off

And then the night turns from day

When the show is all over the problems don’t go away

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

Ten bands

Fifty bands

One hundred bands

All in this collection plate

This tax free business outta hand

Tell these people they’ll reap more the more that they give

Ignore the scriptures make these folks feel good and keep them content

You know it’s all about numbers

A tithing check shows your faithful

An infant baptism and sinner’s prayer is really what saves you

Small group once every month

A self-help daily devotional

And a prayer every now and then when your life gets dysfunctional

Tell me how we gonna justify eighty grand on the steeple when there’s four

thousand people sleeping every night on the streets

What type of Gospel you believe forgets the people in need

When we’ve got homeless veterans freezing with the mental disease

This is the Bible belt son

We’re living up to that name

We come together as one and, trust me, these problems will change

Crosses on every corner

A Church on every last lane

If we’re the hands and the feet, right now we’re crippled and lame

Past the celebrity status

And all the glitz and the glam

Take a look behind the curtain, things aren’t always what they seem

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

When the cameras turn off

And then the night turns from day

When the show is all over the problems don’t go away

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

Now we like to bow our heads and just pray

In the comfort of our home and watch that TV all day

What you doing homie go and get up and do what you was lead

Don’t forget that without action and work your faith is dead

And now we lift up our heads and just pray

In the comfort of our home and watch that TV all day

Get up and shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

Past the celebrity status

And all the glitz and the glam

Take a look behind the curtain, things and always what they seem

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city

When the cameras turn off

And then the night turns from day

When the show is all over the problems don’t go away

Just shine a light on the city

Shine a light on the city
