White Collar

DesertWords

In the darkness of justification, words get lost in the blackness:
     Nothing happened at my church
     It wasn't my pastor

In the courtroom of excuses, empty words ring hollow:
     Well, what can I do?
     It happens everywhere

Fear, denial, self-protection, unspeakable pain, personal and
systemic illness remain, and the greatest of these is.....


$3 Billion payout
Feed he hungry

1,000 children
Care for the poor and helpless

We don't believe this is widespread
And the truth will make you free

I'm sorry
Too late
