| Small Town Man This is just a simple letter from a very small town man Who finally figured out…it’s he who understands. No politician has a clue, they are lost in a world of what and who. But a small town simple man…now he can understand. The world is growing different, people want too much It used to be a world of we…and now it is all about me. Games are played in the name of peace But no one plays the game with the thought of us Political people say they care But leave us all behind Maybe now the time has come For a small town man to make a stand And bring back a world that is sane and has the future in its sights. Stop the world and make it right Bring back a time when honest was right When a man stood up for the way of God And the simple idea of what was right. Give us this day our daily bread….. And lead us not into temptation This was a cry from all who cared What we have lost from those who we trust. Out world is waiting for someone to lead Not a man with political greed But a man who see’s a nation in need. I watch the games on CSPAN and such I see our leaders caught in a trap Looking for gain and looking for might There does not see to be a time when Any are looking for right. I’m just a simple man But somehow I understand That sometime’s you just have to take a stand. And not be such a political man. Stop the world and make it right Bring back a time when honest was right When a man stood up for the way of God And the simple idea of what was right. Give us this day our daily bread….. And lead us not into temptation This was a cry from all who cared What we have lost from those who we trust. Out world is waiting for someone to lead Not a man with political greed But a man who see’s a nation in need. Our world is in danger And leaders find no compromise They just keep searching for that re-election theme Without ever considering the needs of our land They stay so out of touch and their political land That they have somehow lost The simple, everyday small town man. Who only wants to see The beauty of the words My country tis of thee….. Stop the world and make it right Bring back a time when honest was right When a man stood up for the way of God And the simple idea of what was right. Give us this day our daily bread….. And lead us not into temptation This was a cry from all who cared What we have lost from those who we trust. Out world is waiting for someone to lead Not a man with political greed But a man who see’s a nation that is in real need. Now answers don’t come easy And the world has complex ways But if you bring it down to simple The truth is there to stay. Be honest with your neighbor Be truthful in what you do Take into count the others surrounding you. If you want to make a difference Be proud to take a stand Never look down upon another man. Listen to your people They really understand And always stay in touch with your Inner small town man Stop the world and make it right Bring back a time when honest was right When a man stood up for the way of God And the simple idea of what was right. Give us this day our daily bread….. And lead us not into temptation This was a cry from all who cared What we have lost from those who we trust. Out world is waiting for someone to lead Not a man with political greed But a man who see’s a nation in need. A hope an a prayer are all we have left That the voice of a land will finally be heard. We long for a place the way we recall When political…meant for us all Let search for our roots and find our own way Because without those thoughts for a better day We will loose our American way. And that would take our world away Please listen to what a small town man Just what he has to say. Not a man with political greed But a man who see’s a nation in need. by Cal Hodges |
