I see the way that people treat others
Then I look deep inside and realize they are all sisters and brothers
I feel the pain buried in a gangster boy who says nothing but lies
And I see the tears not cried in a teased fat girls eyes
I see the cruelty of a young man beating his girl friend
But I also see the hurt that struggles within him
I hear the wail of a baby thrown out on the street
And see the girl praying for life at her own father's feet
I hear the grown of a man's last breath
And feel the misery that is brought by his d**h
I hear the plea of the homeless for food
Then I see the world, as it is, cold and crude
Where is our caring and love fore the rest?
Why must we continuously struggle to be the best?
What will it take to make you understand,
That all you need to do is touch a hand?
All you have to do is close your eyes and care
Listen to the pain of the boy all alone with such a heavy load to bear
Understand the hurt of a kid teased too much because of his weight
And stretch out toward the d**h of the soldiers reaching their final fait
Listen to the silent agony of a teen that's not supposed to care about d**h
And care about the many people who pray for love as they take their last breath
All you have to do is try to feel for those around you
And you will find that the heart is always true
Can't we all just accept each other for who we are?
Not for how we look, who we hang with, or the looks of our car
I just wish that you and I could care for all
People should catch each other when they fall
Children should sleep in a warm bed
And the homeless should be under a roof and fed
There should be no prisons for there should be no such need
To start just give up all your greed
You can not solve the problems of the earth
But you can help move us to a new birth
And then as the laughter is heard
I'm certain you'll see
What a wonderful place the would can be
