A Truly Good Song

Can we sing a truly good song?
We should sing now you and I
For the children who live without music
In the land where songs have all died
They need food for empty bodies
We need love to fill our souls
They are small and dark and distant
We are big enough to know
Oh, is it all that real?
We see with all our eyes
But it’s so hard to feel
If for us the sun is shining
They have one lone evening star
See the pictures in our paper
And we watch the pictures star
Oh, is it all that real
We see with all our eyes
But it’s so hard to feel
So can we sing a truly good song?
We should sing now you and I
For the children who live without music
In the land where songs have all died
Oh, is it all that real?
We breathe enough to live
But it is so hard to feel
