Literature Text

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
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 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
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

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

Someone out there
Somewhere out there

Very interesting and thought provoking. Love the first two stanzas.

It dosen't always flow, but that's the beauty in it.

My new favorite. :)
