Not Too Far Away

Off to a far away land Dreaming of the unreal Not knowing what to think Not knowing what to feel Seeing the unbelievable Poverty everywhere in sight We could not help the hunger But we helped them find the light Now I sit at home In front of a computer screen Luxuries surround me Probably more than they have seen Usually I think nothing of it I just assume it as my right While in that far off place they’re dieing Oh, how they need to find the light
