Cry

We cry - and cry - and cry 
And feel pain 
For victims of war crimes
Natural disasters, climate change 
And corrupt governments

We cry - and cry - and cry
Deep down our hearts
About child abuse,child labour
Poor  standards of living
And adverse effects of society unrest

We cry - and cry - and cry
Over abuse of power
Where the needs of few
Become topmost priorities 
In illfare to all others

We cry - and cry - and cry 
When we take a glance 
At this sad reality
We see it, hear it and read it
Yet magical soft wipes clean our tears

We'll cry - and cry - and cry
Until the perception of change
And taking urgent actions 
Dwell deep down in us.
