Generate meaning
1
I visited the airport on a busy day
2
To seek wisdom at the crossroads
3
It seemed the only way
4
For though I wasn't panicked
5
I was feeling unaligned
6
I had no idea which path that lay ahead was mine
7
An old man at the terminal raised a wrinkled hand
8
Said, "Follow not your whims, my boy
9
Make sure your time is planned
10
For on the day of judgment when the trumpets fill the sky
11
Your every waking moment you will have to justify
12
Justify, Justify
13
Justify your means and ways
14
For at the end you'll have to pay
15
For all the days you cannot justify."ย
16
The woman next to him agreed
17
"He's right about the plans
18
But all you must make sure about is money in your hands
19
For though there's many causes and the world outside is tough
20
Keep your family comfy and you're justified enough."ย
21
Her husband spoke in monotone
22
"The money's all you need
23
I hear that when you're rich enough you overcome your greed
24
That's why I work long hours in an office building high
25
Making so much money I won't have to justify
26
Justify, justify
27
Justify with dollar bills
28
Money covers all your ills
29
Until you will not have to justify
30
You may nod your head or swear they're all insane
31
There are many, many pathways (as was becoming plain)
32
But by seeing the directions I could not bear to go
33
Another path was made clear and now my way I know
34
I don't believe in judgment, I don't believe in plans
35
And any fool will tell you that it's hard to believe in man
36
I don't expect a day when God will never more forgive
37
But I know there's only one way I have found to live
38
I will not be a monster for money or for land
39
I will not sit here quietly and say that life is grand
40
But as the time keeps rolling on until the day I die
41
It's to myself and to my God that I must justify
42
Justify, justify
43
Justify each step I take
44
Make each gift that I can make
45
Care when many will not care
46
Speak when many will not dare
47
Live a life that's got some worth
48
Keep in mind both God and Earth
49
And that's a path that I can justify
50
