IF ONLY WE CARED

~Vrinda.S~

So many cries, so many pleas

So many tears, but nobody sees

Nobody cares, everyone lies

All these things, just a part of life

So many in need, so many to feed

So many with no hands or feet

Nobody sees, they turn away

To face their life filled with comfort and play

There are those who can't even see

There are those who can't even feel

There are those who can't even speak

And there's nobody to answer their unspoken pleas

So many who suffer, through day and night

So many who don't see a day filled with light

So many who die because nobody cares

So many who pray to see a better day

So many prayers, so many wishes

All left unanswered, all turn to ashes

They give up hope, they give up trying

They Give up wishing, and resort to dying

Nobody to pick them up when they fall

Nobody to answer when they call

Nobody who's there when they cry

Nobody who cares if they said goodbye

So many out there, with no one to whisper them a goodnight

Nobody to tell them, I'll be there through all your strifes

They face the world, the hardships alone

Nobody to run to in this cruel world

And while we sit and while away our time

All we're really living is a lie

What's true and what's real

Is out there and surreal

Behind the scenes, in the streets

Out in the dark, and nobody sees

Nobody cares, so many die

But if they did, so many would survive

Their eyes would shine with tears of joy

Their smiles would lighten up the skies

It's sad that there aren't many who care

Because if they did the world would be such a beautiful place.
