Waiting in fear My stepfather's prey Mother's mistake Now I'm blackmailed not to say Try to explain To a starving child The check's in the mail But it hasn't arrived We've got money for weapons And appeals to crimes Shadrack of Kenya May never reach five Look around and I will show you now A world that needs a way out Look around and I will show you how A man can gain understanding Can you tell that it's me? Chemo has arrived Like a drive-by shooting Both the good and bad cells die The funeral's delayed Until the newlyweds arrive They pull him from the car That she followed behind State of panic reasoning Interrupts while she cries Summons the priest Can you fit two inside? Time has no respect for man Rain falls on the good and bad Though we may not understand We can choose to watch or extend our hands Look around and I will show you now A world that needs a way out Look around and then look at yourself Because you can help them out
