Show Me Beauty

Show me beauty when the world falls apart.
Show me beauty when nothing seems to matter.
Show me beauty in each living, beating heart.
Show me beauty, make me see.

I see the stars.  I see the sky.  And yet the world still doubts.
I breathe Your air. I need You here. You are what life's about.
So reveal Yourself to me: Your awesome, mighty love.
Show me how You see the world. Show me beauty, make me see.

Show me beauty when I can't love myself.
Show me beauty when I can't bear to seek You.
Show me beauty in everything else.
Show me beauty, make me see.

I see the stars.  I see the sky.  And yet the world still doubts.

I breathe Your air. I need You here. You are what life's about.

So reveal Yourself to me: Your awesome, mighty love.
Show me how You see the world. Show me beauty, make me see.

Sometimes my eyes can't see the light. God, open them to Yours.
I long to see why You made me, why I'm what You adore.

I see the stars.  I see the sky.  And yet the world still doubts.
I breathe Your air. I need You here. You are what life's about.
So reveal Yourself to me: Your awesome, mighty love.
Show me how You see the world. Show me beauty, make me see.

Oh, Obama

Oh, Obama... everybody thought that you would,
Bring the change.  You guaranteed us,
But now people are seeing the kind of change you really meant.
Oh, Obama... passing this new health bill,
Knowingly against our wills...
It's hard to stay respectful to you, Mr. President,
Now I know that my kids will have to pay for what YOU spent.

If you voted for some change, has he changed enough for you?)

Oh, Obama... everybody's pretty mad now.
You better make things better fast now.
Socialism isn't what our fathers had in mind.
Oh, Obama... you may have the right intentions,
But if you only paid attention,
And followed what America REALLY wants next time.
Don't you see your actions are disrupting many lives?

(I guess all that I can say now: careful what your votes can do.
If you voted for some change, has he changed enough for you?)

Dear Obama... use your power while you have it,
But don't get comfy just yet.
The year of 2012 is looming very near.
Yes, Obama... you can hurt us while you can now.
I just had to make a shout out.
'Cause guess who's old enough to vote for REAL change next leap year?
Good luck, go nuts... you only have two and a half more years.
Oh, Obama...
