Deborah Scholom - Don't you See? lyrics

I see the way that people treat others Then I look deep inside and realize they are all sisters and brothers I feel the pain buried in a gangster boy who says nothing but lies And I see the tears not cried in a teased fat girls eyes I see the cruelty of a young man beating his girl friend But I also see the hurt that struggles within him I hear the wail of a baby thrown out on the street And see the girl praying for life at her own father's feet I hear the grown of a man's last breath And feel the misery that is brought by his d**h I hear the plea of the homeless for food Then I see the world, as it is, cold and crude Where is our caring and love fore the rest? Why must we continuously struggle to be the best? What will it take to make you understand, That all you need to do is touch a hand? All you have to do is close your eyes and care Listen to the pain of the boy all alone with such a heavy load to bear Understand the hurt of a kid teased too much because of his weight And stretch out toward the d**h of the soldiers reaching their final fait Listen to the silent agony of a teen that's not supposed to care about d**h And care about the many people who pray for love as they take their last breath All you have to do is try to feel for those around you And you will find that the heart is always true Can't we all just accept each other for who we are? Not for how we look, who we hang with, or the looks of our car I just wish that you and I could care for all People should catch each other when they fall Children should sleep in a warm bed And the homeless should be under a roof and fed There should be no prisons for there should be no such need To start just give up all your greed You can not solve the problems of the earth But you can help move us to a new birth And then as the laughter is heard I'm certain you'll see What a wonderful place the would can be
