Desperate Faces

Saw a number on the cover page

Seas, like thunder, roared and quaked

Many suffered, few were saved

Beneath the rubble, beneath the waves

I don't understand, I don't understand

A thousand die, and that news goes by

And I don't think twice, cause it's not my life

A thousand die and I do not cry

Though at times i've tried, it's a hopeless fight

I've come to the conclusion

I cannot change myself

Children hunger as famines rage

Rising numbers, everyday

So I wonder, can I change

Feel something, not be okay?

I don't understand

I don't understand

A thousand die, and that news goes by

And I don't think twice, cause' it's not my life

A thousand die and I do not cry

Though at times i've tried, it's a hopeless fight

I've come to the conclusion

Maybe I should take a flight to see those desolate places

Maybe try to step inside the minds of all those desperate faces

Maybe my superficial eyes will finally be opened

And I will see them as you do

I want to see them as you do

God I need you to break through

And help me be love just like you

Could I be love just like you?

Could I be love just like you?

A thousand die, and that news goes by

A thousand die and i do not cry

I've come to the conclusion
