I

As we speak

Many are on pain’s peak

Knowing not how it crept on them

Thinking not how to get sadness off them

II

As we speak

Many are on sicknesses’ sticks

Knowing not what they did to attract them

Knowing not how they’re going to control them

III

As we speak

Many are in poverty’s pissed pout

Knowing not what to do to get out

And thinking life is worth naught

IV

As we speak

Just as we speak

Many unthinkable things abound

If you hear not their sounds

Think not that yours is worst

Just look up

And follow the ray of hope

Exactly what I’m doing
