You Might As Well Lyrics

Hear the little voices

As they moan and cry

Wondering why they hurt and die

Pull off the cloak of apathy

And look at them

Clothe, feed, don't ignore it

Don't assume others will do it

Children hungry

Children cold

Staring back with hollow eyes

Desperate for hope

You might as well

Try to make a difference

Take a new direction

Give hope to the hopeless

Help the helpless

You might as well

Don't wait for tomorrow

Make time for the hurting

Take away the sorrow

Give of yourself

You might as well

Don't try to drown it out

Pretending you don't hear

Telltale signs of telltale crimes

Buried out of fear

Painted on a living canvas

In hues of red and blue and black

She tries to hide the pain inside

Wearing a mask of smiles and lies

While inside she's screaming loud

For her broken dreams

And for her broken heart

You might as well

Try to make a difference

Take a new direction

Give hope to the hopeless

Help the helpless

You might as well

Don't wait for tomorrow

Make time for the hurting

Take away the sorrow

Give of yourself

You might as well

No love for those who gave their lives

So we could be free to live

No grace for those who came before

And taught us to know better

Tomorrow and tomorrow creep

While we sulk in guilt and shame

The only way to clean the stain is to act

You might as well

Try to make a difference

Take a new direction

Give hope to the hopeless

Help the helpless

You might as well

Don't wait for tomorrow

Make time for the hurting

Take away the sorrow

Give of yourself

You might as well

Try to make a difference

Take a new direction

Give hope to the hopeless

Help the helpless

You might as well

Don't wait for tomorrow

Make time for the hurting

Take away the sorrow

Give of yourself

You might as well

You might as well

Don't wait for tomorrow

Give of yourself

You might as well
