Every day that goes by
  A new hungry baby starts to cry
  Born astride a painful grave
  Drowned in hunger's tidal wave
  Pick a child that you can save
  It'd be the only one
    If Africa escapes starvation
  Not only food but education
  The desert grows with every minute
  Trapping everybody in it
  All the children look the same
  They wonder why they came
  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
  The only thing I really know for sure
  Is that another day, another day's gone by
    Every day that goes by
  A brand new missile points towards the sky
  We're survivors of a game of chance
  Beneath an arms race avalanche
  If you survive this winter's cold
  You'd be the only one
    If we escape annihilation
  Not only hope but education
  The world is ruled by Bellophiles
  Adding to their weapon piles
  Imagine what your taxes buy
  We hardly ever try
  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
  The only thing I really know for sure
  Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye
    That this too solid flesh
  Would melt and resolve into a dew
  Suffocating lassitude
  Drowning in my platitude
  Trapped by insecurities
  I'm not the only one
  If I survive this dislocation
  Have to use my education
    Chief of inactivity
  Wasted creativity
  Distances our revolution
  Silence is consent
  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure
  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why
  The only thing I really know for sure
  Is that another day, another day's gone by
