That's all it should take

Why do you care?

It’s not even your fight

You’ve never had to suffer

From these people’s plight

 

What a strange thing to ask.

It should be oh so clear

Why I choose to place myself

Right at this spot here

 

Like them I’m human too

That’s all it should take 

For me to wish to ease

Their long forgotten ache

 

So I’ll stand beside them

No matter how long

It should have to affect me

For it to be so wrong
