So caught up in our own day-to-day
|
We see lives in need and look the other way
|
I'm not a pessimist, but I think it's safe to say
|
This would be different if it was your family
|
|
We can't fathom not having a place to rest our heads
|
Can you imagine the pain of a newborn child that won't be fed?
|
|
It's so easy getting comfortable
|
We ignore the empty hands in need, thinking someone else will see them
|
|
Can you see the possibilities?
|
We have the ability to change the world
|
If we want to see a change we have to be it
|
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours
|
|
Day after day they continue to die
|
So we think our prayers go unheard,
|
But poverty ends where compassion begins
|
We can no longer deny it's up to us
|
|
It's up to us
|
|
We are the chosen ones, called to be bold
|
There is no time to hesitate
|
Today is the day we can break the mold
|
|
Can you see the possibilities?
|
We have the ability to change the world
|
If we want to see a change we have to be it
|
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours
|
|
Their starving eyes cry out for anyone to listen
|
Reaching out for anyone to care
|
Would we ignore them now if they were our own children
|
Or make a promise to always be there?
|
|
Remove the veil from your eyes
|
We could move mountains if we only tried
|
Remove the veil from your eyes
|
We hold the power in our hands to save their lives
|
|
Can you see the possibilities?
|
We have the ability to change the world
|
If we want to see a change we have to be it
|
Stand up and believe that the responsibility's ours
|
