I see the pain

"I see the pain and the hurt in this world. I've listened to your story before.
I may not be able to change everything and make all the pain go away.

You may have too much pain to bear on your own.
I can't change everything, no I'm just one person here.
There is doubt and fear but there's another way...if you make that change.
But we have to help look around...see what's going on.
Instead of fear and worry it will be replaced with safety and hope.

Look around see the people hurting. Calling out but no one answers.
They can't see the light around the corner, we aren't helping them to see how life could be.
Children hungry watching mommy and daddy die. No one to wipe away the tears.
To take them in their arms no their all alone. How can we ignore them.

You may have too much pain to bear on your own.
I can't change everything, no I'm just one person here.
There is doubt and fear but there's another way...if you make that change.
But we have to help look around...see what's going on.
Instead of fear and worry it will be replaced with safety and hope.
