THE ONES IN NEED BY CHER

THE ONES IN NEED BY CHER

Poverty can be unseen Poverty can be in your facePoverty is what no one wantsPeople want it in it's place

Why, do we treat people soWhy don't we try to knowThe kind of people who are in needThe ones who need to beg and plead

For your kindness and your heartFor your ear to listen and your eyes to seeHow bad life can really be

We walk on by, some of us sighSome want to help, others want to look awayWe grumble and say get a jobSome lend a hand and lift them up

Imagine if you canImagine, not a manBut a child crying out for foodOr crying for help from painNow Imagine if everyone listenedIf everyone helpedIf everyone opened their eyesIf we all just made that step

To do a little extraTo open our hearts and never turn away!

But for now we pretend it's not thereFor now we don't seem to careFor now we refuse to seeFor now they cease to be......literally

How do we close our eyes and justifyThe fact that we just walked on by??.....
