Too Many
Too many people living in the same place
Too many people just needing some space
Too many people with so much greed
So many people with too many needs.
Too many people with so many cries
Too much to lose yet another just dies
So much sorrow, carrying so much shame
So much is lost, with no one to blame.
Too many people with no place to live
So many people with so much to give
So much has changed, yet is still like before
Just close your eyes and then close the door.
Too many people who just cannot see
Too many people just longing to be free
Too many people caught up in this game
Better wake up it’s your thirty seconds of fame.
Too many people with nothing to believe
Too many people with something up their sleeves
Too many people brought down to their knees
So many people that are crying out please.
Too many people that just fell asleep
All of those people finding the hill much too steep
Too many die while so many weep
Too many people in way too deep.
