if i wrote my future
all would be changed
from the way i was raised
to the thoughts in my brain
if i wrote my future
no love would be lost
so i’d stand right beside you
no matter the cost
if i wrote my future
i’d bring nothing but peace
and save you from sorrow
and the darkness that creeps
if i wrote my future
you’d still be here
but you wrote my future
and i did nothing
but stare

While we're laughing
And smiling,
Others are
Dying.

While we're eating
And drinking,
Others are
Starving.

While we're running
And playing,
Others can’t
Walk.

While we're reading
And learning,
Others can’t
Write.

Shh…
Do you hear that?
That’s them
Crying for help.

Hold on…
Do you see that?
That’s us
Not helping.
