I watched the news today

I watched the news today, 
I watch it every day
and every day It seems the same
painful terror without shame

As Mother nature makes her call
She devastates both one and all
She'll slice her way across the land
As father demon lends a hand
And seas rise up towards the shore
Where land becomes the ocean floor

I watched the news today...

War torn places on their knees,
The innocent no longer free
A starving child, he walks alone
across a stony path he'd roam
Searching for the freedom, a gift that he once knew
His mother dead, his father hurt his brother disappeared 
This child alone keeps going, there’s nowhere he can go
He searches everywhere for someone he may know 
But no one comes to ease his pain, 
His search for freedom, all in vain

I watched the news today...

The starving child who walked alone 
He walks alone no more 
He’s found amid the war zone 
Hand in hand with father, brother, 
and memories of mother
They walk to freedom a place they call home
