Faint Not
Overcoming Apathy: Faint Not, Embrace Change
Lyrics
The problem's not a gun, not a color, not a hundred dollar bill
The issue is not related to firearms, skin color, or currency; it extends beyond superficial aspects.
We think the struggle can be won with simple thoughts
We believe that addressing the struggle is possible with simple ideas like unity and goodwill.
Like 'come together be good willed'
Expressing the hope that unity and goodwill can resolve societal issues.
The gap between the rich and poor
The gap between the wealthy and the impoverished is widening, as commonly reported.
Is spreading out all the more or so they say
Despite such reports, we often overlook or dismiss these claims.
We ignore the claims
We choose to ignore or deny the existence of these problems.
Oh my soul, faint not, no, faint not
An encouragement to persevere and not lose hope or courage.
Oh my soul, keep up, up
A call to maintain resilience and endurance.
In love
In the context of love and compassion.
Faint not
Reiteration of the plea not to give in to despair.
It's not that we don't know or
We are aware of the existence of poverty and its impact.
We're not shown the proof of poverty
Despite being aware, there is a lack of concrete evidence or realization of the severity of poverty.
It's not that we don't have the tools to go
We possess the means to address these issues but may not utilize them.
To break this yoke of slavery
A desire to break free from the chains of societal oppression and injustice.
We quit because it's not an easy fix
We give up because the solutions are not easy, forgetting the ongoing suffering.
And then forget that they are even there
There is a tendency to overlook the existence of those in need and their struggles.
We forget to care
Neglecting the responsibility to care for others in difficult circumstances.
Oh my soul, faint not, no, faint not
A repetition of the encouragement to stay strong and not lose hope.
Oh my soul, keep up, up
A reminder to endure difficulties with love and compassion.
In love
Continuing the call to persevere in the context of love.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love
Expressing a commitment to counteract hatred by spreading love.
Where there is injury, let me pardon
A commitment to forgive and show mercy in the face of injury or harm.
Where there is darkness, let the light come, come
Expressing a desire to bring light into situations of darkness.
Oh my soul, faint not, no, faint not
A repetition of the encouragement to remain steadfast and not lose courage.
Oh my soul, keep up, up
A continued call to endure with love and compassion.
In love
Reiterating the importance of facing challenges with love.
Oh my soul, faint not, no, faint not
Continued encouragement not to succumb to despair or hopelessness.
Oh my soul, keep up, up
A plea to persist in the face of difficulties with love and resilience.
In love
Emphasizing the importance of enduring challenges with love.
Faint not
A final plea not to give in to fainting or losing hope.
Faint not
A repetition of the plea for endurance and resilience.
Faint not
Reiteration of the call to persevere and not lose hope.
