People in the downtown streets   Selling food and unusual things   Drinking water eater rice   A young boy sitting with his mother   Silently endures the day   Bothers making it alright      But look in his eyes   All the hidden cries   He doesn't know the reason why      One life in Asia   Every day short on food   Right after birth reaching childhoods end   One life in Asia      Social disease, endless screams   Lost in decadence   Hunger and pain is all they gain   Filled up with fright and out of might   Never seen the light   Dependent on help      One life in Asia   Every day short on food   Right after birth reaching childhoods end   One life in Asia      Are we worthly?   Full of blindness?   A child around the corner is crying   Slowly dying, crying, slowly dying      An old man in the house of mud   Smoking an cigarett   A remaining piece of luck   A young girl searching for safety   Hope she'll realize   She's selling her heart      But look in his eyes   All the hidden cries   He doesn't know the reason why
