It Will Never Be Enough

A long day's over
I lay my head down to rest
Wish I could smile
Wish I could say I did my best

But I feel uneasy
Cos there’s someone crying
In the back of my mind
Somebody is dying

Somewhere out there
There’s tears being shed
Some young teenager
Is wishing themselves dead

And all I did today
Was write a poem or two
Go to church and sing
Thinking there was nothing else to do

But there’s so much
That is never done
And it hurts so bad
Co I wanna help someone

But I don’t know how
And I just can’t rest
Cos in my heart I know
We never try our best

Cos there’s still
Children crying in the night
There’s still men
Being sent out to fight

Seems everything’s wrong
So I can’t sleep at all
Screaming each second
Listening to hear someone fall.
