BANDAIDS FOR THE HEART

BANDAIDS FOR THE HEART

In this old world are many woes,
Sadness that tears you apart;
I'd really like to make it better
With a band-aid for the heart.

A parent weeping for a child
That was too young to die;
A terminal illness strikes
Without a reason why.

Sight is lost, and poverty
Is knocking at the door;
Homeless, jobless, hopeless -
Doesn't matter anymore!

Families are torn apart
By anger, lust or greed -
Babies are abandoned
Out of selfish need.

The flag is presented
To a mother every day,
Her child joined the service
And died so far away -

If I could only find a way
To change wrong to right
The world would be a better place
For you to sleep tonight.

There is no instant cure,
But just to stop the bleeding
It seems that band-aids for the heart
Is just what we are needing!
