Verse 1:
My heart goes out to the people affected
Help Mr. Holmes, may he learn his lesson
Everybody knows, everybody knows
Just like 9/11, Haiti Earthquake blow
Blazing bombs, set the world on fire
Follow in the footsteps of Richard Pryor
Load up, 1 of you, 1 of me
Open up your eyes, take a look and you’ll see
And Uncle Jerry ain’t no help
We try to see the positives, still doesn’t help
All throughout the world, people snatching the kids
And Kony’s in Uganda screaming “Catch me if you can”
So much hate it makes us sick
But what if life is just one big trick?
And we’re all just pawns in the game
With soldiers out to war going M.I.A
Hook:
Take a moment of silence
Take a look at yourself
They’re screaming for help
Verse 2:
My heart goes out to the people affected
Sick in the ER, no insurance, rejected
Heroes can be real, not just the bad guys
That feed off the fear in other people’s eyes
Overseas tsunami, swim through the debris
It’s horrible, but we can’t stop destiny
Evil is in the eye of the beholder
But I can’t tell the difference between The Joker and a Wall-Street broker
People need jobs, they can’t eat healthcare
Single moms can’t even live off welfare
Rich out to eat, as you bottle water from the tap
No time for dreaming, gotta take another lap
They say God will come again
Just please don’t let that get to your head
Why did he have to go and take away their lives?
The crazies get the fame, while the innocent die
Hook:
Take a moment of silence
Take a look at yourself
They’re screaming for help
Bridge:
Can we do what we did yesterday tomorrow?
Can we have secrets that we don’t borrow?
Can we dream big, and live small?
Can we catch ourselves before we fall?
Can the kids get back to full health?
Can the rich spread out their wealth?
Can the dreams become reality?
I see the world changing right in front of me
Hook:
Take a moment of silence
Take a look at yourself
They’re screaming for help
My heart goes out to the people affected
Help Mr. Holmes, may he learn his lesson
Everybody knows, everybody knows
