taking everything for granted
never aware of the precious gift called life
turn your head around
take a look on the other side
we can only feel so high
cause (the) others are so low
this scale has never been in balance
with time we’ve grown deaf to their screams
numb to their harm, blind to their hands trying
to reach us
as you live in paradise
the thought of hell somehow fades out of mind
and that’s what’s keeping me awake
but the walls
are slowly caving in
your fortress
of welfare
is collapsing
sometimes you’ll be forced to face reality
I want to know how it will feel
to look in the eyes of a child
with a gun in his hand
to be the reason
innocent people are dead
to sleep well
while millions are starving to death
what did they do to deserve a life like this
while some dine careless
not a bit of remorse
sleeping safe in their beds
far away from any kind of regret
surrounded by applause
in times of never-ending greed
destruction of all beauty
I fail to find a cause
how can love grow
when only
hate is seeded
we are the reason
this world
is bleeding
