Exodus 20; a new song

I wrote a new song called "what has he done." See if you can pick up on the inspiration.

He opens his eyes, and stares at his hands.
He bitterly cries, to whom he offends.
But what has He done but fail to show love
To whom it is owed…

And casting aside, what to him matters most.
He feels alive while he carries this host.
But it can’t replace the one he should serve.
He gets what he deserves.

In anger or pride, he calls on His name,
Or he can’t decide just who is to blame.
He bellows a phrase to show his disgust
For whom he should trust.

If every day’s holy, than what has he done?
Instead of His service, his time’s spent on fun
He won’t stop to ponder the things of the Lord
His time here he hordes.

His father and mother, he cares less about
Than finding his own, and seeking things out.
He shuns their instruction, and scoffs at their love.
They’ve had enough.

It starts with a fire in the pit of his bowels
His one desire is to lay the man out.
He holds back his hand, and then walks away
But it’s still too late.

When he sees her beauty, he’s kept by her charm
He closes his eyes, and holds her in his arms.
He desperately wants her, and dreams she is his.
His mind is amiss.

Just five more minutes to download this song.
Nobody misses the prizes he’s won.
The smallest of items, who could he offend?
Why does he pretend?

Just one little fib, to buy some more time.
He feels embarrassed, and protects his pride.
What they don’t know can’t possibly hurt
The truth, he averts.

He just can’t be happy with all that he has
He seeks things out, and grabs what he can.
The grass is much greener on the other side.
He wants more to life.
