Pages closed in the magazines
Hittin' standby on the TV screens
People think if they turn away
That this problem disappears
Ignoring write ups in the daily news
Changing stations to avoid the views
So many heads deep down in the sand
Won't they listen to our pleas
And if we all join hands
And if we all join hearts
We can make a change
For the children of tomorrow
And if we all join minds
And if we all join conscience
Together we'll prove
It's not man against the world
Empty boxes on the streets below
Too many people that are sayin' no
Wonder if they understand
It's like spreadin' a disease
So much at stake, so few who care
The little things so precious and rare
The smallest change can do so much
For a world down on its knees
