Live Again

No one really listens to the dead voices
That try to climb out of a dead box
Hidden in a dead society 
Full of life.

No one really looks at the desperate people
That try to make it by in a desperate world
Reaching with desperate hands
Full of nothing.

No one really feels the lonely children
That try to smile at the lonely hour
Wishing upon a lonely star
Full of hope.

No one really tastes the bitter hearts
That try to warm up to the bitter cold
Hoping for a bitter evening
Full of warmth. 

Listen to life.
Look past the nothing. 
Feel the hope.
Taste the warmth. 

Live again.
