Do we just leave them there to die?
Do we just stand silent and convince ourselves to cry?
150,000 people in desperate need.
150,000 souls just like you and me.
Do we stand silent as the killers cross?
Do we own the shadows as the fires rise?
Do we do nothing about their fears, their tears?
Convince ourselves we were right for decades of years?
Do we pretend we’re deaf to their screams and cries?
Do we do nothing as a people dies?
