Motionless Land

The TV man spoke of death on some coast
 I saw all the crumbling debris
 It dealt me a blow, but I'm thankful to know
 That it could never happen to me
 I am standing on motionless land
 A constant under my feet
 I've got four walls and a roof overhead
 It could never happen to me
 I feel for the poor folks who wander the streets
 In search of their daughters and sons
 It's sad there are people with nothing to eat
 I'm thankful I'll never be one
 I've worked for my family and home
 My whole life I fought to be free
 No one deserves to be homeless, alone
 But it could never happen to me
 I've lived my life, righteous and wise
 And chosen my path carefully
 Someone just has to be smiling on high
 Cuz this could never happen to me
 No I'm not without flaws, and I've suffered through loss
 I've got problems that weigh on my mind
 I've got bills to pay, and a son on the way
 So I've got to save every time
 These things always happen so far from my door
 As if tragedy lives overseas
 I wish I could help, but I'm glad for myself
 That it could never happen to me
 That it could never happen to me
