Have you ever seen the swallow stitching

Through a shaft of sunlight in the morning?

Have you a willow bending

In wind that throws it's way along the canyon?

Has your body felt the shock of deep immersion

At the bottom of the river?

Has your heart felt the hurt of someone

Turns and walks away forever?



Have your strapped(?) your head and tore your hair

'cause people haven't got the love of living?

Have you ground your teeth and clenched you fist

Because your friends have lost the art of giving?

They don't take the time to stop and think

Of all the brothers in the world with nothing

Of the man who takes the food and drink

And freedom from the hands of children dying



Look around you

Look around you

Look around you

Look around you
