A missing child, a mother too weak to stand
She cries her world turned upside down she sobs
'Where is my baby? A victim of apathy

No one regrets, no one regrets what they forget
Nobody feels pain that's not theirs, nobody feels anymore

While we count our losses we can see that
No one here claims a victory
Cries for help left unanswered are written down in the pages of history

No one regrets, no one regrets what they forget
Nobody feels pain that's not theirs, nobody feels anymore

Why can't we see this is reality?
Why can't we see, this happens everyday?
Why can't we see that we're a part of it?
Why can't we see it's what we are, it's what we've done?

The problem here is clear, the helpless cries ring in our ears
An epidemic ever present claims victims with no names
I ask you how we can be content with what we see?
The tragedies that we've all seen, I know we'll see again

Why can't we see this is reality?
Why can't we see, this happens everyday?
It never goes away
Why can't we see that we're a part of it?
Look around you know we're part of it?
When will we see it's what we are, it's what we've done?
