If This Was Your Final day

A song about what the world has become

A man sits homeless on the street
But you just walk on by.
In your mind he's just a bum;
He lives nothing but a lie.
had you only known his thoughts
or how he lived to die.

A lonely young girl sits alone
And you say not a word.
No one cares what she thinks
And her voice is never heard.
You think it's not important
But are you really sure?

Chorus:

If this world would end today
Could you say you did your part?
did you lend a helping hand
Or open up your heart?
Did you try your best to be a friend
Or take the time to pray?
Would others know how much you cared
If this was your final day?

A family struggles to survive
You do not think to help.
You say it's not your problem
Do you know the pain they felt?
You could have made a difference.
Thier future's what you held.

A single mother tries so hard
To raise her little ones.
You could have helped her out just once
And watched her two young sons.
But you didn't care at all for her
You'd rather have your fun.

Chorus

An addicted teen cried for help
But you just turn your head.
You pretend that you don't see
"I dont care" is what you said.
You've given up on him;
You've left him cold and dead.

Your younger brother needs your help
But you just turn away.
You denied him as your blood
You've nothing left to say.
But what exactly would you do
If this was your final day?

Chorus

This has some real potential...I think a few of the rhymes might need a bit of polishing but most of them are very good. Do you have music to it? Oh, I'd love to hear! It reminded me of a country song that I liked called "Don't Laugh at Me". It's in very much the same groove of thought...which is a very cool groove. Social conscience is necessary to humanity and an admirable trait to find in anyone.
