This song isn't on ONE GOOD REASON, but is included here anyway. It was sort of the result of an encounter with Liberation Theology. To make it brief, the exposure changed my outlook on a number of things. This song, a prayer of sorts, came out of that time.

Give me a yearning for justice
And a cry for a broken heart
I am only one and
I can't change the world, but
Here, in me
the change should start

Give me a yearning for justice
And a prayer for the gift of tears
'Cause I see a million starving
In my living room, while
My eyes are dry
My conscience clear...


From my sheltered life I
Hear of children crying while
Families walk the streets
For some shelter they'll hope
While in my shelter I know
I'll be fast asleep
Give me a yearning for justice
Just the ability to feel
'Cause I've never known a day
Of cold or hunger pain, please
Help me know the need is real

Give me a yearning for justice
And a cry for a broken heart
I am only one and
I can't change the world, but
Here, in me
the change should start...
