Who does the listening When everyone seems to know it all? Who will lend an ear And hear the cry of the faithless? Many are the afflicted But few are the listeners; Many are the hopeless but few are the encouragers. The young generation is in tears, But no one dares to care. The young are misguided, Yet no one cares to know why. Who cares to listen When all are talking? Who will give a helping hand And hear the cry of the youth? Many are searching for the meaning of life, But none are near to help. Many are searching for a faithful soul But all are keeping to themselves. Where are our heroes And whose ways are worth following? Who would care to see the young prosper And get this world back on its feet? Whoever hear of this And find in their hearts pure compassion, Let them take up the task And fight to redeem the youth. May they, with courage, stand up And declare war: That people may learn to listen more And open their mouths less; That people may learn to be patient And care for the ones struggling To find meaning in their ways And the good in this world. « return. |
