They Need You

They Need You

 

When I see the children's faces

On the dry and dusty streets

When I see their stomachs bloated

And their bones devoid of meat

When I listen to the television

Saying lives were lost

When I hear the evening news

Talking of a holocaust

When I smell the smoking fires

As the crops begin to burn

When I taste the salt of flowing tears

My heart begins to yearn

Something must be done, someone must be saved

Instead of money being spent on roads that must be paved

No one can be heartless, nothing can be lost

On buying life for families,Not groceries at cost

When I feel the pain of thousands

Whose homes are lost in flood

When I think of victims dying

Because no one will give blood

When I tremble at the thought

That people everywhere are killed

When I see the pain filled faces

Of those whose blood has spilled

When I hear the garbled speeches

Of all those who can't read

When I listen to the crying

My heart goes to those who need

No one can be heartless, something must be done

If people think it's over, our fight has just begun

Nothing can be lost, someone must be saved

Money must be spent on life, not roads to be paved

Everyone must listen, everyone must care T

hink of all the love that's missed by children lost out there

Anyone can help them, anyone can try

If people don't start caring, families may die
