Saw a number on the cover page
Seas, like thunder, roared and quaked
Many suffered, few were saved
Beneath the rubble, beneath the waves

I don't understand, I don't understand

A thousand die, and that news goes by
And I don't think twice, cause it's not my life
A thousand die and I do not cry
Though at times I've tried, it's a hopeless fight
I've come to the conclusion
I cannot change myself

Children hunger as famines rage
Rising numbers, everyday
So I wonder, can I change
Feel something, not be okay?
I don't understand
I don't understand

A thousand die, and that news goes by
And I don't think twice, cause' it's not my life
A thousand die and I do not cry
Though at times I've tried, it's a hopeless fight
I've come to the conclusion

Maybe I should take a flight to see those desolate places
Maybe try to step inside the minds of all those desperate faces
Maybe my superficial eyes will finally be opened
And I will see them as you do
I want to see them as you do
God I need you to break through
And help me be love just like you
Could I be love just like you?
Could I be love just like you?

A thousand die, and that news goes by
A thousand die and I do not cry
I've come to the conclusion
