Saw a number on the cover page
Seas, like thunder, roared and quaked
Many suffered, few were saved
Beneath the rubble, beneath the waves
I don't understand, I don't understand...
A thousand die, and that news goes by,
And I don't think twice, cause' it's not my life
A thousand die and I do not cry,
Though at times I've tried, it's a hopeless fight,
I've come to the conclusion...
I cannot change myself
Children hunger as famines rage
Rising numbers, everyday
So I wonder, can I change,
Feel something, not be okay?
A thousand die, and that news goes by,
And I don't think twice, cause' it's not my life
A thousand die and I do not cry,
Though at times I've tried, it's a hopeless fight,
I've come to the conclusion...
Maybe I should take a flight to see those desolate placesm
Maybe try to step inside the minds of all those desperate faces
Maybe my superficial eyes will finally be opened
And I will see them as you do
I want to see them as you do
God I need you to break through
And help me be love just like you
Could I be love just like you?
Could I be love just like you?
A thousand die, and that news goes by,
And I don't think twice, cause' it's not my life
A thousand die and I do not cry,
Though at times I've tried, it's a hopeless fight,
I've come to the conclusion...
