Shed a tear

Open your mind once again and shed some tears for a 
world full of pain 

Shed some tears for the children that die 
and for the mothers that openly cry

Shed some tears for needless death in war
not really knowing what they are fighting for

Shed some tears for the people with no home 
the unwanted that die all alone

Shed some tears for all hatred and sorrow 
only we can make a better tomorrow

Shed some tears and hear what I say
for a better tomorrow we must cry for today.
