Somewhere in the world
a man gave his life today
for a woman whose face
he never saw
just to see her turn away
from demons she didn't know she had.

Somewhere in the world
a child died of hunger today
in a world full of food
in a world full of overweight people
simply because his nation
wasn't rich enough.

Somewhere in the world
A woman ran away today
from the burden of childhood
a burden she was forced to carry
by a cruel man she didn't know.

Somewhere in the world
a dog was beaten to death today
because his owner was incompetent and cruel
and though the dog loved his owner
until the last blow
his love for his master killed him
because it kept bringing him back.

Somewhere in the world
somebody lent their world to me today
just so I could see
what things I could achieve
if I let myself live.
