Lack of empathy

Makes you fear what you don't understand

The faces you fail to see

Drown in the few and the sea

Your ignorance makes me wonder

Did you pause for a second and think

How any of this came to be

Who caused all this misery

Those are people out there, leaving behind

All they are, all they know, all they love

Those are people out there, leaving behind

All they are, all they love and the place they call home

Are meaningless hate and intolerance

The values you want to protect?

Noone wants to take nothing from you

But you will take all they have left

Unable to take the blame

Unable to hide the shame

We tear the world apart

And burn the pieces

Did you even try

To see life through their eyes

Fighting to find a tomorrow

And better days to come

Why do you even try

Not to save them from despair?

It hurts me to see all this hate

And this lack of humanity

Those are people out there, leaving behind

All they are, all they know, all they love

Those are people out there, leaving behind

All they are, all they love and the place they call home

Are meaningless hate and intolerance

The values you want to protect?

Noone wants to take nothing from you

But you will take all they have left

Unable to take the blame

Unable to hide the shame

We tear the world apart

And burn the pieces

Imagine being out there, leaving behind

All you are, all you know, all you love

And the place you call home
