I've traveled the whole world from point A to point Z
I've seen the sky from the white clouds to the black starry dreams
I've climbed all the mountains from the trees to the white tip tops
And I've swam through all the oceans from the sky blue surface to the black deep dots

I wont lie and say there is so much more to see
Because I will confess, all there's left is negativity
And, im angered that we cant all love each other
Simply because I'm me and you're you, and yes there's a big difference

From wars full of hate
Where children can't sleep for days
Where the sound of bombs is hateful music to their lonely ears
Where children cry hopelessly for the night of the demise of their misery

To poverty of the majority
In worlds only a few miles away
Where you turn on the news
Ignore the thousands of lives lost and turn to some comedy

Because you're afraid of the sleep you'll lose if you watch
Others in sorrow crying for the love of each other
Because you believe you can't make a difference in lives
But can you really look me in the eye and confess to those lies

To ignorance of the people, saying "So What?"
To hundreds of children dying daily
To when an icon dies the whole world in sorrow is asking why so lately
Simply because it's easy to turn off the news and cries
And a pleasure to log on Facebook and pry

Because I've seen the whole world from here to there
I've traveled through space and seen the reverse of the moons dark face
I've marched through mountains, deserts and valleys
And I've swam through all the oceans just to form a rally

Nothing comes from nothing, and nothing ever could
Because I wake up every morning not scared of death but scared of living
And while thousands climb a mountain for the world to see them
Only a few climb a mountain to see the world for themselves

You can try to be happy yourself, but what about happiness of others
Because I simply can't live knowing that somebody somewhere is living less better
I'm making it my mission to bring a smile to those children's days
Because I know that if I can't at least go help one on one
Then I'll start with what I have today

And you may not see today as I do
Simply because I climb a mountain to see the world
And maybe so do you
But that dosen't makes us all any less human
Just because I'm me and you're you

— The End —
