You want to be heard But you have no time To listen to what I must say.
You want to be cared for and loved But you don't care or love those surrounding you.
How can you ask for love If you don't see with kind eyes How can you receive if you don't give? How can you ask to be heard If you hear nothing but yourself?
(chorus) Poverty, power, death Is the worlds disease Wars unbroken, unsolved Forgotten and lost souls We will never find Yet Selfishness, deafness, madness Is everyone's disease And no one cares enough to stand and change What could of been prevented in the beginning.
You aid for a hand to reach and hold But you give your back To all those who ask for your help.
How selfish can you become? How money does not buy happiness Power will only destroy everything you love And push away those who you care the most.
How can you ask for love If you don't see with kind eyes How can you receive if you don't give? How can you ask to be heard If you hear nothing but yourself?
(Bridge) If you want to be live in peace If you wish to be heard Extend your heart to others And happiness will fulfill your life.
I hear a beat forming in my head, some background harmony fillin' and smootin' the breaks,
I do not have a set of lyric patterns yet but, there is something here, forming in my head.
