people are in confusion
the world is full of fear
can’t you feel it
I see conflict all around us
can anybody out there hear
hear the people crying

I see the poor and hungry
I see the pain they bear
where is the hope?
the hope they long for
does anybody out there care?
I hear the people crying

why can’t we find the reasons?
why can’t we find one call
for everyone to come together
and give this world a voice
can’t you hear the people crying?
