Man, Woman & Child

The farmer perspires and we begin to live
He dies in vain while we forget to give
We forget to give our attention
Every man, woman and child
Give him your ears, not your pretension

The soldier shoots from his rusty gun
He dies in vain, too, while we all shun
We shun the fact that he died for someone
Every man, woman and child
Look up to your saviour before he is done

A girl dies in the womb and we move on
In the blink of an eye a life is gone
Gone even before it’s time to be born
Every man, woman and child
Be God or Goddess, be the baby’s dawn
