Music and Lyrics by Tyler Somers (BMI) and Jennifer Somers (BMI)

 

Saw a number on the cover page

Seas, like thunder, roared and quaked

Many suffered, few were saved

Beneath the rubble, beneath the waves

 

I don't understand, I don't understand...

 

A thousand die, and that news goes by,

And I don’t think twice, cause' it’s not my life

A thousand die and I do not cry,

Though at times I’ve tried, it's a hopeless fight,

I’ve come to the conclusion...

I cannot change myself

 

Children hunger as famines rage

Rising numbers, everyday

So I wonder, can I change,

Feel something, not be okay?

 

A thousand die, and that news goes by,

And I don’t think twice, cause' it’s not my life

A thousand die and I do not cry,

Though at times I’ve tried, it's a hopeless fight,

I’ve come to the conclusion...

 

Maybe I should take a flight to see those desolate placesm

Maybe try to step inside the minds of all those desperate faces

Maybe my superficial eyes will finally be opened

And I will see them as you do

I want to see them as you do

God I need you to break through

And help me be love just like you

Could I be love just like you?

Could I be love just like you?

 

A thousand die, and that news goes by,

And I don’t think twice, cause' it’s not my life

A thousand die and I do not cry,

Though at times I’ve tried, it's a hopeless fight,

I’ve come to the conclusion...
