Ever Wonder

Watch the birds fly—hear them sing. Ever wonder... Who’s been born—for whom did life just begin. Look up at the blue sky and the sun. Ever wonder... Who is happy—who’s having fun? Listen... listen to the sound of the rain. Ever wonder... Who’s being hurt—who’s crying again. Feel the wind and the force of the hurricane. Ever wonder... Who’s being punished—who’s going through the eye of pain. Feel the tremors and see the destruction of the earthquake. Ever wonder... Who’s been hit—who won’t awake. See years and years with no rain, countries stranded by drought. Ever wonder... Why do some have all, and, some go without? Hear, see, feel fear and hate; each day more shooting, more fighting—the pressure's tightening. Ever wonder... Whether the price for peace is what makes doves cry, And if living a lie is less frightening than living to die?
