Mothers crying in the street children dying at their feet, tell me why people starving everywhere there's too much food but none to spare, tell me why
Can you see that shaft of sunlight can you see it in my eyes I can feel the fire that's burning anger and hope so deep so deep within my heart before my eyes for some it's too late it seems there's no-one listening
People sleeping in the streets no roof above, no food to eat, tell me why see the questions in their eyes listen to their children's cries, tell me why
If there's a God, is he watching can he give a ray of hope so much pain and so much sorrow tell me what does he see when he looks at you when he looks at me what would he say it seems there's no-one listening
Who would think it still could happen even in this time and place politicians, they may save themselves but they won't save their face just hope against hope it's not to late
You say there's nothing you can do is there one rule for them and one for you, tell me why
Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight can you see it in my eyes I can feel the fire that's burning anger and hope so deep so deep within my heart before my eyes for some it's too late it seems there's no-one listening
