How Much?
copyrighted with all rights reserved
She was beaten and battered
'til she begged on the street
For compassion from us
And healthy food to eat.
How many turn away -
How many pass her by?
How many blame her and
Leave her there to die?
This was not her choice
And its not her fault.
Let's keep her wounds clear
Of our stinging salt.
Please take time to care
And hold out a gentle hand,
Even if you don't know her
Even if you can't understand.
Chorus; How much Love has been wasted -
Not even allowed to exist?
How much have we not felt?
How much have we all missed?
Did you notice, yesterday,
Tears filling her blank eye
When she received a hug
From a stranger passing by?
That's the first she's had
In over a decade of time.
It was just a tiny piece
Of her needed life line.
Tears flowing for a single
Moment of genuine care,
Because its so unusual -
Too painfully rare.
Its sad. Sad. So sad.
So indescribably sad.
Where is the humanity
That we thought we had?
Chorus; How much Love has been wasted -
Not even allowed to exist?
How much have we not felt?
How much have we all missed?
