there are people livin' in poverty
their lives are just misery
can't get enough relief
there are children needing some food to eat
shoes on their little feet
lookin' to you and me

why do we look away
think it will go away today
I think it's only fair
that we should all be asked to share
(STRINGS & KEYBOARDS DITTY)

there are men among us who rule our land
and though they're just fools in bands
hold us all in their hands
there are people preaching their gods to me
saying that I can't see
yet they give me books to read

they say more's wrong than right
some say more dark that light
i say it's how you think
that makes you swim or sink
