Lyrics
Mothers crying in the street
Mothers expressing sorrow publicly.
Children dying at their feet, tell me why
Children dying near their mothers; a plea for understanding the reasons.
People starving everywhere
Global presence of hunger and starvation.
There's too much food but none to spare, tell me why
An ironic situation where there's enough food but still scarcity, prompting a question.
Can you see that shaft of sunlight
An invitation to observe a symbolic ray of hope.
Can you see it in my eyes
Expressing a deep emotional connection through eyes.
I can feel the fire that's burning
Sensations of anger and hope burning intensely.
Anger and hope so deep
Inner conflict and powerful emotions within the heart.
So deep within my heart
The depth of emotions within the speaker.
Before my eyes
A plea to recognize a critical situation unfolding.
For some it's too late
A sense of urgency, suggesting it might be too late for some.
It seems there's no-one listening
Perception that there's a lack of attention or response.
People sleeping in the streets
Highlighting homelessness with people sleeping on the streets.
No roof above, no food to eat, tell me why
Emphasizing the harsh reality of lacking shelter and food.
See the questions in their eyes
Observing the desperation and questions in the eyes of the suffering.
Listen to their children's cries, tell me why
Calling attention to the cries of the children.
If there's a God
Raising existential questions about the existence of a higher power.
Is he watching
Questioning whether a higher power is aware of the suffering.
Can he give a ray of hope
Asking if there's hope that a higher power can provide.
So much pain and so much sorrow
Expressing the overwhelming presence of pain and sorrow.
Tell me what does he see
Seeking insight into what a higher power perceives in the face of suffering.
When he looks at you
Questioning how a higher power views individuals.
When he looks at me
Reflecting on personal accountability when viewed by a higher power.
What would he say
Pondering the hypothetical words of a higher power.
It seems there's no-one listening
Reiterating the perception that no one is listening to the pleas for help.
Who would think it still could happen
Expressing disbelief that such situations still occur in the present.
Even in this time and place
Commenting on the ineffectiveness of politicians to address crucial issues.
Politicians, they may save themselves
Suggesting that politicians prioritize personal interests over public image.
But they won't save their face
An appeal to maintain hope even in challenging circumstances.
Just hope against hope
Encouraging hope despite the perceived lateness of the situation.
It's not too late
Urging action before it becomes too late.
You say there's nothing you can do
Questioning the existence of double standards in addressing issues.
Is there one rule for them and one for you
Asking for an explanation regarding perceived inequality.
Tell me why
A repeated plea for understanding the reasons behind suffering.
Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
A repetition of the invitation to observe a symbolic ray of hope.
Can you see it in my eyes
A reaffirmation of a deep emotional connection through eyes.
I can feel the fire that's burning
Restating the intensity of emotions, combining anger and hope.
Anger and hope so deep
Reiterating the profound emotions within the heart.
So deep within my heart
Emphasizing the depth of emotions within the speaker.
Before my eyes
A repetition of the plea to recognize a critical situation unfolding.
For some it's too late
A reminder that, for some, it might already be too late.
It seems there's no-one listening
Reiterating the perception that no one is listening to the pleas for help.
Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry
Repetition of a desperate cry for help, emphasizing the urgency.
