Every day that goes by, a new hungry baby starts to cry Born
astride a painful grave, drowned in hunger's tidal wave
Pick a child that you can save, it'd be the only one If
Africa escapes starvation, not only food but education The
desert grows with every minute, trapping everybody in it All the
children look the same, they wonder why they came But it's
hard to tell the poison from the cure Harder still to know the
reason why, why, why The only thing I really know for sure Is
that another day, another day's gone by Every day that goes
by, a brand new missile points towards the sky We're
survivors of a game of chance, beneath an arms race avalanche If
you survive this winter's cold, you'd be the only one
If we escape annihilation, not only hope but education The world
is ruled by (?), adding to their weapon piles Imagine what your
taxes buy, we hardly ever try But it's hard to tell the
poison from the cure Harder still to know the reason why, why,
why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day,
another day's gone by Oh that this too sullied flesh would
melt and resolve into a dew Suffocating lassitude, drowning in
my platitude Trapped by insecurities, I'm not the only one
If I survive this dislocation, have to use my education The
world is ruled by (?), adding to their weapon piles Imagine what
your taxes buy, we hardly ever try But it's hard to tell the
poison from the cure Harder still to know the reason why, why,
why The only thing I really know for sure Is that another day,
another day's gone by
