| The Innocent's Corner
-Caedmon's Call-
Huddled in the light of a cellular billboard
A family of four is a nation at war
In her head are the echoes of weeping
Of children the Sunday before
The promises made by her father
Are no match for hunger's incline
And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner I'll hide
You came around and lifter her up with the angels beside
Would she be denied?
Ours is a land with a terrible shortage
Of harvests to share and breathable air
And a reason to live could be too hard to find
Like a wage or a dime
But we sit here debating the meaning of justice
With self-righteous spin and an upper caste grin
We're still suffocating on quicksand indifference
Where no choice is ever that hard
And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner she'll hide
You came around and lifted her up with the angels beside
The promises made by her Father
Would curb any hunger inside
And she fell to her knees as she cried
In the Innocent's corner she'll hide
You came around and lifted her up with the angels beside
This week i was given this site

to watch a clip about the 'invisible children'.
It's unbelievable that these kinds of things are happening...and that we don't really hear much about it...
"speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy" - proverbs 31: 8-9.
