JUST FOR A DAY
by Robby J Keating)
Just for a day I’d like to find your way
if your’e indigenous show me how to play
don’t need no hidden backlash on what I am about
if you need to vent on life just call me up and shout
just for a day I’d like to be in your mind
feel what it’s like to feel the rants from those so blind
never felt a racist vibe coming from me inside
but I’ve seen the looks on faces when others are unkind
Just for a day let me be president
I’d get rid of us and them n’ make we are one events
same blood we all die the same do you get my drift life don’t make sense
spin box spin those minds of ours chippin’ away at our natural defence
Just for one day would you live inside of me
see how the world is broke we gotta fight to break us free
and it’s easy to bring another down
it only breeds misery
just for one day would you like to be president
or prime minister that run’s the show like it’s all an accident
it might shut down a shallow face that gets carried around
see nothin’s safe no nothin’s safe ‘ no nothin’s safe ‘round town
just for a day
swap sides to the receiving end
we won’t ever know what it’s like for those
’til we learn to bend
our rule books that are made to break
our rigid minds that we hold so fake
our screwed up emotions that divide us all
on wake
just for a day so much we all could face
just for a day swap shoes with those we hate n’ chase
just for a day it could be make or break
just for a day just for a day
just for a day
