In this world, where on
ly one word rules, where cash is the food for the
fools, and where the preachers collect their du
es.  I know they canme, I know t
hey can save the world.  As I hear one say:
   ®... Stop preacher! The Voice is trying to tell 
you somethin'.  I said: I    can't un
derstand it.  He said: I'll interpretate.  
He said: This boy is  telling yo
u he was born blind.  But when you pray that prayer ...
in the name   of Jesus, the lig
ht came on for the first time in twelve years... and n
owthat blind boy can see.¯
  ®And the next night, you couldn't get near that stad
ium.  I never saw such a  crowd in m
y life. Twenty thousands people outside that couldn't get i
n.  The   government send workers... 
I can tell it, because I saw the gun that were
   in... in their coat pockets. And God even save 
them, guide them, deliveredth
em and save them free.¯   ®This is wh
at America needs, this is what Africa needs, this is
 what India  needs. We are needed in
 the trouble spots in the world.  We don't need mor
e  government intervention. we need a holy ghos
t revival to let the world knowthat Jesus 
Christ is the same yesterday, today.. and FOREVE
R!¯Can I give him an Alleluia?  
I guess not.  All the things they said is
   everything you heard.  But still, the
y won't save you, they won't save us,
    not at all.  Are they the voice of God? Not
 more than I do.  And there's
no place for the cross.

   Corrupted family.  One sells his mother for that shit 
he needs, while the
  other one beat his father, emptying his wallet.  I know
, it doesn't have any
senses.  I don't believe it either.

I can't imagine a parent drinking his Bud, while his 
four kids are
    dying of hunger.  Too poor, not enough job
, has problem to pay his rent,
but eh!  Isn't beer better than having four kids
?  I guess not.

I can't imagine a man beating his wife.  Beating up t
he person he is
    engaged for life with.  I can't believe he already fo
rgot what love was
   all about.  While she does everything to pleasure him
, he keeps up beating
 her, by pleasure I guess.  And he's enough fucked up to 
ask her pardon.  Well,
    family is not what it was supposed to be.  And I gues
s there's no place
for the cross, here, on Earth.

Why some are living for the American Dream?  Why are 
we calling that a
  dream, when it turns to a nightmare.  Values 
are always forgot.  Is money a
value?  I guess not.  How can we call a val
ue something so corrupting,
   dirty and disgusting?  Yeah right!  You can 
buy anything with money!  Why
  don't you try to buy me?  If I have a Benz in the garag
e, a million dollars
   mansion and a lonely life, am I rich?  Just 
live your nightmare, America,
  while I live what's left of my dream.  America is not a
 place for the cross.

  When it comes to die, oh God!  Where are you
?  To whom can I talk to when my
    last minutes of life will come?  I maybe lived for mo
ney, I maybe beated
my wife, and my kids have died of hunger, b
ut it doesn't make me a bad
   man.  I maybe lived in sin, but I'm still a good man
.  Oh God!  Where are
you?  Can you forgive me?  I believe in you... 
I believed in you...

    Dying is a place for the cross. While the world is fa
lling apart, values
are crushed for money, and shit, and they a
sk for a savior.  They are
  praying NOW, like never before.  They believe
 there's a place for the cross
because... they are dying!
