I saw a 10 year old, Walking down the street, With a handful of bowl And in another a younger kin. Chanting "what was our sin?"
I saw a handsome lover, Beside a lonesome tree Strangled by the memories Of his lover who loved somebody else Trying to stop how does it feel. Writing up the blues to heal.
I saw an old aged person Who barely can walk He was happy, had a family Not so long ago Sitting with his basket upon the sidewalk With nowhere to go
I hope you think about them If not me when you say Life is unfair.
I saw a mother of two, Sunken beneath a pannier. Dreary eyes and a crooked leg, Says the burden of life's heavier.
I saw a husband, a son, A father of one. Miles away from home, Aiming to be suffice, Guarding the border, A few laughin' at the sacrifice.
I saw a man in a white coat, People say he's akin to god. Broken in tears saying 'There are battles that can't be won For these hands saved so many Now loosing a loved one.'
I hope you think about them If not me when you say Life is unfair.
I saw the dreamers Quitting before they die. Heard them saying that they gave a million try.
I saw people dying in lone That were once on the Billboards At times there's no one to hold I saw blind men crossing roads.
I saw the animals crying for the lost homes, People fencing their little domes. I saw the birds crying for the lost trees, The poor cries and no one sees.
