What do you see? I see, I see, I see, I see...

I see the kids on the street begging,
they beg, they beg, they beg, they beg for food.
I know how hard it is for them to smile,
I’m not asking you to help me anymore.

Everyone has time to build,
everyone has time to smile.
Everyone has something they can spare.

Time, they lack time to live.

Move forward, help them too,
Move forward, don’t look down at your feet.
Move forward, open your hand too,
Move forward and realize why.

I can’t stand them sleeping on the sidewalk,
I can’t stand them living that way.
I can’t stand seeing a kid working,
let alone seeing one begging.

(Repeat second stanza)

Move forward, move forward.

They close their eyes to the sickness,

but your ignorance can do so much more.
It’s never too much to bear,
stick around and you’ll always leave.

(Repeat first stanza)

Move forward, help them too,
Move forward, don’t look down at your feet.
Move forward, open your hand too,
Move forward and realize why.

(REPEAT)

Everyone has time to build...their little house, their little house...
everyone has time to smile...in movies, in videos...
everyone has something they can spare...pants, sneakers, t-shirts...
time they lack, time to live,
and what do you say, let’s see, let’s see, let’s see,

(Repeat third stanza)
Move forward, move forward.
I can’t stand them sleeping on the sidewalk,
I can’t stand them living that way.
I can’t stand seeing a kid working,
let alone seeing one begging,
begging...and working...little trinkets, taxi radio,...FREEDOM!
