Get to them

I look out to the inky sky
Feeling confusion only
What is this world coming to?
When no one cares about anyother?
There are children who scream in pain
Mothers who weep sorrowful tears
Fathers who are helpless to stop the suffering
How can we endure it?

I scream into the sky
Why, God, do You let this happen?
But I hear a soft answer
Why aren't you trying to help them?
I've turned my eyes and heart away
Believeing if I don't see them
That they're not there
So I am the guilty one
For not reaching out my hand to those in need

While children die and mothers weep
I am screaming at the world
But yet I am doing nothing
I look but I do not see
Somehow I've gotta get to them
Ease their pain and dry their tears
