Have you ever taken time to listen to the silent of night?
Can you hear the voices of the innocent heart?
Underneath the darkness amidst the cloud are hopes dieing
Children, brothers, sisters, mothers and fathers are suffering
From the cruelty of an unjust world man created
Hoping to sustain through a long await night incapacitated
Hoping life will be much better tomorrow
Striving to live in a world free of unforeseen sorrow
Unconsciously, love ones are resting for the night
Who will ever thought these could be there last
I have been sleepless trying to figure out
Maybe tonight all my questions will be cast
Last night on my knees, I prayed for the world to be made right
Many are spending the night in pain and regret
Many are hungry going to bed, because no one out there cares at all
No shelter to prevent the heart from heavy out pour
In vain lives are lying six feet beneath
With questions unanswered, trust broken and betrayed
All is needed is a minute to listen to the innocent cry
You and I can save a life today, if we both care enough to try
