We call ourselves heroes
When really we're just thieves
We call ourselves dreamers
When in reality, we don't know what to believe
And we call ourselves saints
When really we're unworthy
We call ourselves lucky
But do we really deserve it?
Somewhere in the world
There's a child going hungry
Somewhere in the world
There's a little girl crying 'cause she's lonely
And somewhere in the world
There's a broken-hearted woman being abused
Somewhere in the world
Someone is abandoned and confused...
While we've got people to love and people to trust
We sometimes forget about the ones who don't have it as good as us...
All the things we take advantage...of
All the things we take for granted...yeah
And all they want is for somebody to care
Somewhere out there
We call ourselves lovers
When all we do is hate
We call ourselves friends
When we only discriminate
And we call ourselves fighters
When we only let people down
We call ourselves angels
While we bury people in the ground
We pretend we're lost
When in the back of our minds
We've always known what we are
Somewhere in the world
There's a child going hungry
Somewhere in the world
There's a little girl crying 'cause she's lonely
And somewhere in the world

We sometimes forget about the ones who don't have it as good as us...
All the things we take advantage...of
All the things we take for granted...yeah
And all they want is for somebody to care
Somewhere out there
We solve our problems
With wars and guns
We say we're in trouble
But really we're the fortunate ones...
Oh, we say we're survivors
While they're just happy to be alive
They spend every day struggling
Just to find the light
They're praying for time
While we're just buying time
Wasting time:
The ultimate crime
Somewhere in the world
There's a child going hungry
Somewhere in the world
There's a little girl crying 'cause she's lonely

Literature
This Is For You
I know that I don't
express my feelings well.
I try not to
let my emotions show.
They make me feel
cheesy.
And I always try to stay away from
cute,
Even though, to my dismay, cuteness sometimes comes out.
So, when I speak of my
feelings,
You know that what I say is
directly from the heart.
I love you, not like a
lover,
But like a
sister.
You cheer me up when I am
depressed,
You calm me down when I am
upset,
You listen when I just need to
talk,
You know all of my innermost
secrets and thoughts.
Yo
Literature
Far from Perfect
I cannot stand hypocrisy,
though I know I'm guilty of it.
I care nothing for dishonesty,
but I've told a lie or two.
I do not condone betrayal,
yet I've set a few fires
along the way.
I would never blame another
if the blame was mine to take.
My intention was never to hurt you,
but it happened just the same.
I do not expect forgiveness,
I doubt I could give it
either way.
I would never claim perfection,
though I am a perfectionist.
It means I never finish anything,
because I'm never happy
with how it ends.
So I guess you could say
I'm far from perfect.
I would certainly agree.
At least I'm honest about it,
just as sure as the word
Literature
I love you too
I hate hanging up on you after the way you say "I love you."
Somehow totally pronouncing the period while simply saying "I love you".
It's one of the constant feelings I have with you,
Leaving me mindlessly craving for more.
I love how your voice strikes my inner sides,
But not how it happens to take over my mind.
And it never seems to strike alone because of my love for you,
A love I risk to trust in all the beautiful lies.
So I try to savor your words in my mind,
The way your voice holds my heart away,
The river of longing lit by your smile,
Every moment of what we have.
