Imagine a world without hello's We'd swim about rivers of sorrow My eyes would not see , ears would not hear And every time you turn around , It's tomorrow Now picture a society so far out of reach They'd eat through mountains of their own Feast their eyes upon a fattened youngin' And every time they turn their backs another is gone So paint a picture of yourself A model of your own world You don't know what you've got until it's gone Imagine a world with no arms and no legs You'd lie there sometimes asleep , others awake You'd rather be deaf , dumb and blind And give up your appetite to walk, one more time Now is this the picture we've designed And what about the others will they ever survive And you lie there trying to figure it all out While the rest of the world is too busy to try To pain a picture of themselves A model of their own world They don't know what they've got until it's gone
