As we speak, another minute goes by
Another child asks why, another school-girl cries.
Why can’t we hear them?

 What can we do to save the world?
Can’t we just talk and coffee twirl
Why does it have to be so hard
My word – My God.

 As we speak – another tear drop shed
Another lonely bed, another friendless kid
Why can’t we see them?

 As we speak – another dirty bomb flies
Another terrorist tries another weak disguise
Why can’t we fear them?

 As we speak – another Redwood hollows
Another dead Barn Owl – another lost Blue Swallow
Why can’t we heal them? 

As we speak – another poor man frets
Another mortgaged debt, another child won’t get
Why can’t we give them? 

As we speak – another thief breaks in
Another dealer wins, another killed by kin
Why can’t we catch them?

 Maybe this song can save the world
It always works to get the girl
It doesn’t have to be so hard
Sad Song – En Garde.
