Somewhere; Oh where
A child missing
All hope declines
The world goes on
Bees in a beehive

Water rising levies droop
Snakes in the grass
Young lovers yearn
Filthy flies
A black child hungry
A step in dog poop

Who dares
Young men young women
A country calling
A hungry child dies
Mothers and babies cry
Not all care

Global warming
A cold chilled sweat
Wind sand blasting
Gone a humvee
Ice age looming
Sun tanning

Three thousand too many
Hi mom today I'm fine
Freedom's never free
Except for some
Of my country what can I get
Orphan and nanny

A child dies
Hungry
Bloody sand
Let freedom ring
Young man and woman brood
Far away a soldiers lonely cries
