Lend a Hand

We feel pain
From far distant shores
  we have extended our 
hearts to the people residing there
     If you can't
  relate to the pain of others
 you will die a lonely death
    Only now do we see what we should see - what we must see
    Yes, we finally see - and by the way
you can count on something
     coming up soon
a dream - song
a shining light
    which allows us to flee
    from the darkness
which has recently swept over our land
