The world is
heartless
Kindness seems elusive
Kindness seems elusive
Children die of hunger
While rich wallow in comfort
While rich wallow in comfort
Beggars brave the cold in pavements
Amidst palaces that shine in adornment
Amidst palaces that shine in adornment
Babies mercilessly abandoned
While dog shows are pompously celebrated
While dog shows are pompously celebrated
Children exploited on hard labor
For the employers to save on wages
For the employers to save on wages
Young girls forced
into life of sin
For the rich in pleasure to indulge in
For the rich in pleasure to indulge in
The problems are endless
The deprived are helpless
The deprived are helpless
Kindness seems very elusive
The world is heartless
The world is heartless
