Pictures in my mind, leave me bitter and unkind
So excuse me if I don't feel the way you do
All around, on the ground the suffering can be found
And I want to help but I'm not sure how too
I know they have it rough but I just can't do enough
So I wonder if I should even bother
Poor girl just wants some food, bet it would change your attitude
IF you found that hungry girl to be your daughter
And still we turn the other cheek
And I for one am feeling cowardice and weak
We go through life with our eyes closed
But in our hearts and minds we'll always know

Was at the end of my rope and had given up all hope
But now I see that's just the easy way out
And I know many have more but my health I'm thankful for
I don't need everything that's not what I'm about
So if you've got what you don't need, please don't resort to greed
Share your power don't abuse it
I'm left with a choice armed with only my voice
And you can bet that I intend to use it

I'm not going to turn the other cheek
No more feeling cowardice and weak
Go through life with my eyes open wide
And when someone needs my help I won't run and Hide
I won't run and hide
