If You Feel Like Singing A Song

If you feel like singing a song sing of the war afflicted
The people due to circumstance by poverty restricted
Those people we call refugees and that word dare I mention
Who seek refuge on foreign shores only to end up in detention.

If you feel like singing a song don't sing of the headline makers
And of every giver do please sing but never of the takers
Those who take and take but never give the selfish rich self serving
Of song or any sort of praise one might say undeserving.

If you feel like singing a song don't sing of the wealthy greedy
But do sing of the street children and of the poor and needy
The world out there ought to be told of their sad and tragic story
Their circumstance of birth and place their barrier to glory.

If you feel like singing a song sing of the well intentioned
The quiet achievers of this world whose names are seldom mentioned
Always helping those who need help people worthy of admiring
They believe in a fair go for all and they are quite inspiring.

If you feel like singing a song do sing of the forsaken
By circumstance and place of birth their future from them taken
Do sing of them and sing aloud and make the world heed you
These are the people to sing of the people who most need you.
