Land of Plenty


There are people all around the world,
Starving and forgotten,
And apples on the ground, dew-pearled,
Left lying to go rotten.

You must have seen them on TV
And wondered who the hell’s to blame.
It could be you - or even me -
The world keeps turning just the same.

The losers in the human race
Accuse us in the Hall of Shame;
A land of plenty in disgrace,
Unworthy of the world’s acclaim.

Perhaps it’s time to make a stand
Against the kind of life we lead.
What good’s the money in your hand
When there are hungry mouths to feed?

A land of plenty gone to waste,
A throw-away society,
That daily stuffs its ugly face
And cares not for sobriety.

A land of plenty gone to waste,
Whose wanton ways itself defame;
A land of plenty in disgrace,
A thief by any other name.

The Simple Truth (Enough)


I've done my best, but it wasn't good enough
I've failed the test, now things are getting rough
I don't know where to turn
So I fiddle while things burn
And I know I should be made of sterner stuff
But the simple truth is that I've had enough.

Anyone Can Die


Anyone can die at any time
Old people and young people
And people in their prime
Suddenly get blown away
Without reason or rhyme
'Cause nobody's too young to die
And nobody's too old to cry
And there's no use in wondering why
It happens all the time

Another Song to Sing

Just a few fragments so far.

When the clouds are heavy, dark and grey
And you can't bear to face another day,
Remember that, in spite of everything,
Every day's another song to sing.

When the night seems long and dark and cold
And there's nobody around for you to hold,
Don't forget, whatever night may bring,
Tomorrow is another song to sing.

When skies above are grey and you can't face the day,
When you wish the world would go away;
Remember there's a spring, once winter's had its fling,
And every day's another song to sing.
When winter turns to spring, the sunny days will bring
Another song for you and me to sing.

When the night is cold and there's nobody to hold,
When darkness seems to blanket everything;
Remember there's a light at the end of every night,
And every day's another song to sing.
So try to carry on and make it through till dawn,
And listen for a brand new song to sing.

When your heart is bruised and there's nothing left to lose,
And life seems like a game you'll never win;
Remember there's a friend waiting just around the bend
With another song for you to sing.
Remember there's a friend with a song recently penned
Especially for both of us to sing.
