I don't want to seem selfish

I know there's bad all around

But this holllow sound of emptiness

Drowns out all of the cries for help

I don't want to seem selfish

Bombs are dropping new places each day

But a war is raging inside me

A prisoner of war feels my pain

I don't want to seem selfish

Children are dying of famine, starving

I'm starving just so I can look at myself

So I can look and not hate myself

I don't want to seem selfish

Really thats not my intent

But this is me looking for needed change

In this pain of the world and of myself
