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?
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,
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...
