TWO FOR TUESDAY

Link: [Genesis]

Not every song that will be featured here will be what is generally considered as being “Christian” in the eyes of this world. For some will be anguished cries from the pit of despair, and others will be quite obviously ferverent rants of rebellion. Nonetheless, be assured that they will all be of our Heavenly Father (in one way or another) and I hope that you have been given ears to hear the message.


Man on the Corner
Genesis
See the lonely man
There on the corner
What he’s waiting for
I don’t know
But he waits
Every day now
He’s just waiting for
Something to show

And nobody knows him
And nobody cares
‘Cause there’s no hiding place
There’s no hiding place
For you

Looking everywhere at no one
He sees everything
And nothing at all oh
When he shouts
Nobody listens
Where he leads
No one will go oh

He’s a lonely man
There on the corner
What he’s waiting for
I don’t know
But he waits
Every day now
He’s just waiting for
Something to show oh

Nobody knows him
And nobody cares
“Cause there’s no hiding place
There’s no hiding place
For you
And me

Are we just like all the rest
We’re looking too hard
For something he’s got
Or moving too fast to rest
But like a monkey on your back
You need it
But do you love it enough
To leave it ah

Just like the lonely man
There on the corner
What he’s waiting for
I don’t know oh
But he waits
Every day now
He’s just waiting for
That something to show oh
Who’s the lonely man
There on the corner
What he’s waiting for
I don’t know
But he’s there
Every day now
And he’s just waiting for
Something to show oh
Who’s the lonely man
There on the corner
What he’s waiting for
I don’t know
Oh but he waits
Every day now
He’s just waiting for
That something to show


Land of Confusion
Genesis
I must’ve dreamed a thousand dreams
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They’re movin’
Into the street
Now did you read the news today
They say the danger’s gone away
But I can see the fire’s still alight
They're burnin’
Into the night

There’s too many men
Too many people
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion

This is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start tying
To make it a place worth living in

Oh Superman where are you now
When everything’s gone wrong somehow
The men of steel
The men of power
Are losing control
By the hour

This is the time
This is the place
So we look for the future
But there’s not much love to go around
Tell me why
This is a land of confusion

This the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth living in

I remember long ago
Oh when the sun was shining
Yes and the stars were bright
All through the night
And the sound of your laughter
As I held you tight
So long ago

I won’t be coming home tonight
My generation will put it right
We’re not just making promises
That we know we’ll never keep

Too many men
Making too many problems
And not much love to go around
Can’t you see
This is a land of confusion

Now this is the world we live in
And these are the hands we’re given
Use them and let’s start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
This is the world we live in
And these are the names we’re given
Stand up and let’s start showing
Just where our lives are going to

  1. I always liked Phil Collins. I clicked on the second video not paying much attention and thought darn it sounds just like the first.

  2. Thanks for stopping by again, my dear Ann!!! Ah, but did you pay attention to the video for "Land of Confusion?" Maybe it's just me, but it's hysterical.
