Millions of starving, suffering from draughts
hoping for a drop of water to keep their lives
millions of homeless, make their living on the streets
finding every way to survive
Millions of children, without families, without love
living each and everyday without hope
millions of problem kids, we look down on with a frown
when all they want is to have a hand to hold
why don’t you notice those around you and you’ll see
that ther are so many wandering hearts and souls in need
why don’t you look outside and forget about yourself
see the sorrow and pain of others, and your heart will melt
Millions of people, searching for love that is true
so many heart-broken not knowing what to do
millions taking drugs everyday
because it seems to them life’s got no other way
Open up your eyes and hear the searching cry
they’re all looking for a way to be free
if you quit caring for yourself then you’ll come to realize
that you have the answer to what they need
why don’t you notice those around you and you’ll see
that there are so many wandering hearts and souls in need
why don’t you look outside and forget about yourself
seeing the pain of others will make your heart melt
