As if this dust had never been a person
And this right had never been wrong
As if this debris had never been a city
And this discord never been a song
As if those divided had never been one
And those invisible never belonged
As if cruelty had never been pity
And those vulnerable never been strong
And if love reached far and wide
And if we could the truth recall
And if compassion were applied
And if humanity was shared by all
And if…
And if
As if…
As if…
As if there were no ability to hear
As if everywhere only fear
All ready to cast the first stone
And everyone ooooh!
so very alone
