Hello my friend
I can see by the look in your eyes you're tired
Tired of trying
Tired of this world
The pain and suffering is too deep
Tied up to my knees to my head in worries
Full of trouble I cannot see
You are no different than I my friend
And, you see, though we aren't the same
We are
We're bound not by choice but by chance to this universe
This planet we call home
And the countries and states of great escape
Cannot quit under pain alone
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
There's life inside love and it's beautiful too
Can you make me want to see this world through?
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
How he wished he could say he already knew
Though from time he'll tire of stretching the truth
If we don't unite we'll drown in life too
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
So many of our people are crying
Don't turn around
They're lying dying from heat
A cold cold death
If you listen in silence you'll hear their last breath
Louder than New Orleans could ever sing
'Take care of everything'
And my friend if you try not to cry
It won't help this world come together at all
For each tear is a voice
A scream of suffering that makes a wearry heart fall
The only way to show the man
Who seems to have time on his hands
To wait and watch as our homes crumble at our feet
Is to wake while he sleeps and creep deep deep
Into the heart of the worry and pray
Because God knows
And it shows
When He's mad or proud
And it changes each day
Help us take that man away
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
There's life inside love and it's beautiful too
Can you make me want to see this world through?
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
How he wished he could say he already knew
Our 'leader' must tire of stretching the truth
If we don't unite we'll drown in life too
There's nothing with out someone and something in you
If we bond together we can make it through
This natural disaster that 'nobody knew'
There's nothing with out someone
But I know there's something - in you

I'm middleaged and recently laid off, looking for work. I felt like that before I had relatives go through Hurricane Katrina. But you know, their courage in the face of devastation and possible death makes my ordeal look like a day in the park!
