Lyrics Light the City - Mogli the Iceburg, Nobigdyl.

Light the City

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
