if we only could see
each other's needs
then maybe we'd have
a bit more sympathy

if we focused on those
who feel all alone
love them and hug them
giving them hope

then we could start
in the softening of hearts
i'm sure it would work
if we all played our part

focus our help
on somebody else
seek others needs
more than ourselves

we really should know this
giving hope to the hopeless
stand up for what's right
make it our fight

open our hearts
to each other's needs
then maybe we'd have
a bit more sympathy
