Can we sing a truly good song We should sing now you and I For the children who live without music In the land where songs have all died They need food for empty bodies We need love to fill our souls They are small and dark and distant We are big enough to know Oh is it all that real We see with our own eyes but it's so hard to feel If for us the sun is shining They have one long evening star See the pictures in our papers And we watch the pictures starve Oh is it all that real We see with our own eyes but it's so hard to feel So can we sing a truly good song We should sing now you and I For the children who live without music In the land where songs have all died La la la Oh is it all that real We breathe enough to live but it's so hard to feel La la la
