Deep sadness moves inside me               

for the world is full of sorrow.

Inside me is uncertainty

about a good tomorrow.

 

I hear the cries of children

filled with hunger and pain

as they stay in cages 

in a world gone insane.

 

There is so much sickness

and people are dying.

Our leaders shut their eyes

and keep on denying.

 

The Government engages in

out-right discrimination,

People wanting equal rights

protest and have frustration.

 

Many have lost their jobs

and need a helping hand. 

Don’t shame them as they ask. 

Just try and understand.               

       

Rise up men of courage

and work to make this right.

Help those who are hungry.

Remove a burden tonight. 

 

To make a better world,

we must act to make it so.

Do constant acts of kindness

before the cold winds blow.

 

United we can conquer

the sadness and despair

of a world that is hurting

by showing that we care.
