Someone Else's Wrong
Someone Else’s Wrong
What is it hurts that you so – makes you the way you seem?
Help us all know what you hope to gain!
Show us all the reasoning – that drives you in this way –
So we can share and help you ease your pain.
Chorus:
Till then all the rest of us are left here asking ‘why?’
And shedding tears of anguish for so long.
What is it makes you feel that causing others so much pain
Can help to right yet someone else’s wrong?
How do you think that making other people cry –
Helps them see the pain that grips you tight?
There must be better ways to show us things you think are wrong –
And a hundred better ways to put them right.
Can you seen the broken bodies - strewn about the ground?
Have you paused for thought for what you’re going to do?
Have you wondered how you’d feel if just one of those you see
Were a child of the parents who bore you?
For every drop of blood you spill and everyone you hurt –
Is one too many by far we’ll always say.
For every person everywhere wherever they may be –
Is another me or you in some small way.
Till then all the rest of us are left here asking ‘why?’
And shedding tears of anguish for so long.
What is it makes you feel that causing others so much pain
Can help to right yet someone else’s wrong?
