one soul in a million

silent
wasting away
silos
unwanted grain
overseas
in a starving land
there’s hungry people
with death at hand

when you feel a tear from heaven
falling from a cloud of rain
one soul in a million
drowning in endless pain

children
think of the children
fragile eyes
shattered
in tears
if they live
they’ll remember
our greed
in these thirsty years

when you feel a tear from heaven
falling from a cloud of rain:
one soul in a million
drowning in endless pain

one soul
in a million

one soul in a million

one soul
in a million
