Justice from Rooted by Seeds
This song came as a response to a homeless friend “Curly” who died one night in our lobby. .. When will Justice come? They’ve got millions of dollars, still the greed’s not met.

Lyrics
So they build another factory and they fill it,
With the labor of little children, in some far off foreign land,
Keeping them out of sight and out of mind,
As the market place expands.
When will justice come upon the earth,
When will the cry of the innocent be heard,
When will power not be used for selfish gain,
When will justice come?
A generation of babies have carelessly been slain
In the name of money and convenience.
While the poor and the elderly are left alone to die,
Keeping them out of sight and out of mind,
inconvenience of our time.
When will justice come upon the earth...
An entire race of people forced to leave their land,
For the sake of someone else’s freedom.
While another is enslaved because the color of his skin.
When will it end?
We’ve got Bosnia and Sudan, Rwanda and Iraq,
Nations ripped apart before our eyes,
Although we stand for justice,
although we fight the cause,
in the end we’re left asking...
When will justice come...
There’s a man who knows the pain of life
In the very deepest way,
And he’s coming soon to claim his rightful power.
His kingdom it shall stand upon the righteousness
He has, He’ll give us sight to our minds,
as His kingdom comes at last...
Then will justice come...
Come Lord Jesus come!
