Think Twice

Our small group is doing a study currently on Justice and how Christians respond to the many injustices being done in the world. How fitting the song chosen by David Archuleta tonight on American Idol. Last week he sang Imagine by John Lennon. This week, Another Day in Paradise by Phil Collins. Interesting choices for a 17-year-old, I think. Very culturally relevant, and socially aware. I'm including the lyrics below:

ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE
She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir, can you help me?
It's cold and I've nowhere to sleep,
Is there somewhere you can tell me?"

He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he can't hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there

Oh think twice, it's another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, it's just another day for you,
You and me in paradise

She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Can't walk but she's trying

Oh think twice...

Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say

You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
'Cos she didn't fit in there

Oh think twice...
