The world is full of contradictions With two sides to everything. We wait to hear predictions That in our life, we will have everything What about those who have much less Their life seems to be in such a mess It is sad we feel only pity When we should really feel empathy I want to do something about it, Do something about it today And not wait for the next person To act on it, on some other day We think we have no power, We are not responsible We are selfish & greedy, It is understandable Poverty, bribery, illiteracy, unemployment & corruption We don't have to raise a voice, It is no compulsion We think we have done enough, but no one's there to hear But if we can’t hear ourselves, why expect someone else to hear If we can’t stand up for someone else's cause, Why expect someone to fight for our cause? Every drop makes an ocean, Many voices make commotion I want to make a difference, for at least one man And need no other reason, but only because I CAN I want to do something about it Do something today, And not wait for the next person To act on it, on some other day. « return. |
