I can feel what was bothering Marvin Why his words forever remain Dealing

Know that God delivers a cure

It's a shame our reality is devastating People praying for a cure Dying
while they're waiting Ask the Lord for the comfort And strength to face it

and dads How can we sit back and not try to make it right We gotta come
together We gotta fight for life

going on) Tell me (What's going on)
