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

It's 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 Bellophiles
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

It's 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, bye,bye


That this too solid 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


Chief of inactivity
Wasted creativity

Distances our revolution
Silence is consent
But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure

It's 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
