Every day that goes by   A new hungry baby starts to cry  Born astride a painful grave   Drowned in hunger's tidal wave  Pick a child that you can save  It'd be the only one    If Africa escapes starvation  Not only food but education  The desert grows with every minute  Trapping everybody in it  All the children look the same  They wonder why they came  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why  The only thing I really know for sure  Is that another day, another day's gone by    Every day that goes by  A brand new missile points towards the sky  We're survivors of a game of chance  Beneath an arms race avalanche  If you survive this winter's cold  You'd be the only one    If we escape annihilation  Not only hope but education  The world is ruled by Bellophiles  Adding to their weapon piles  Imagine what your taxes buy  We hardly ever try  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why  The only thing I really know for sure  Is that another day, another day's gone by, bye,bye    That this too solid flesh   Would melt and resolve into a dew   Suffocating lassitude   Drowning in my platitude  Trapped by insecurities   I'm not the only one  If I survive this dislocation  Have to use my education    Chief of inactivity  Wasted creativity  Distances our revolution   Silence is consent  But it's hard to tell the poison from the cure  It's harder still to know the reason why, why, why  The only thing I really know for sure  Is that another day, another day's gone by
