I feel hunger...
But not as much as those who are starving.
I feel pain...
But not as much as those who are sick with no medicine.
I feel hope...
But never as much as those who wish the fighting would stop.
I feel thirsty...
But not as much as those without rain.
I feel we should be doing more...
And so do those who have less than us.
So maybe it's time to make a stand
And tell the politicians
To help those in foreign lands
Stop the fighting, the hunger and pain
And help them breathe
To live again.
