Will You Speak

Will you speak for the poor today
don't walk away, like everything is ok
They pretend to be strong
But all along can they go on
There everywhere
do you care
look to your right
The poor is right there in your sight
Look to the left
Can you hear them
Or are you pretending to be death
God blessed you,
to help those in need
Will you heed to his voice
It's your choice
so this day my friend
will you please proceed
and give to those in need 
or will you just walk away
like everything is ok
