When the sun is warm where you are
|
And it¡¯s comfortable and safe where you are
|
Well, it¡¯s not exactly that way
|
All over
|
|
And somewhere in the world
|
Someone is cold,
|
Be aware!
|
And while you¡¯re feeling young
|
Someone is old,
|
Be aware!
|
|
And while your stomach¡¯s full
|
Somewhere in this world
|
Someone is hungry
|
When there is so much
|
Should anyone be hungry?
|
|
When there¡¯s laughter all around me
|
And my family and friends surround me
|
If I seem to be forgetful,
|
Remind me
|
|
That somewhere in the world
|
People are weak,
|
Be aware!
|
And while you speak your mind
|
Others can¡¯t speak,
|
Be aware!
|
|
And while your children sleep
|
Somewhere in this world
|
A child is homeless
|
When there is so much
|
Should any child be homeless?
|
|
Oh, no, not even one child,
|
Be aware!
