Every 18 Seconds

Every 18 seconds a child is left behind
Someone determined their worth isnt worth the time
Every 18 seconds anothers innocence is lost
Someone decided this precious life isnt worth the cost
They say its not my problem i got to many of my own
Besides im sure their not really left all alone
Every 18 seconds a childs world is turned upside down
The ones who were supposed to love and protect are no where to be found
Yes they are out there scared and all alone
No food , no water , no place to call home
What would it take to make a difference big or small
Maybe just 18 seconds to say a prayer for them all
Pray they dont lose the smile that lights up their face
Pray that we become better as a human race
To never let anothet child be just thrown away
Show that there is hope for us to find a better way
So every 18 secondsĀ 
A lost child is found
Knowing they are safe when the arms of hope wrap around
Every 18 seconds

Every 18 seconds another child in the world is orphaned.there is a place called Show Hope that helps orphaned children.i wrote this song in hopes of selling it and having the proceeds go to Show Hope. To hopefully help these kids.im not in a position to adopt but i had to do something.
