So many sounds float throughout the world.
From the bangs of guns on the battlefields
To the melodies sung by a child with their friends.
But why doesn't anyone seem to care?
Doesn't anyone care about the children who are forgotten
Or about innocents who are silenced forever?
Doesn't anyone hear their pleas to be saved?
Their pleas to be heard?
No, no one ever seems to hear them,
No matter how loud they scream for someone to help.
Why can a nation hear the pleas of others,
But not the helpless pleas of their own?
Is it because they're oblivious to their own problems,
Or is it because they want to feel better about themselves?
Maybe they just can't hear us.
Maybe we should scream louder,
Shout out to them louder,
Or just have them see us as we are.
So I'll ask you this;
Can you stand to hear our pleas?
