Mothers crying in the street
Children dying at their feet, tell me why
People starving everywhere
There's too much food but none to spare, tell me why

Can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart before my eyes
for some it's too late
it seems there's no-one listening

People sleeping in the streets
no roof above, no food to eat, tell me why

If there's a God, is he watching
can he give a ray of hope
so much pain and so much sorrow
tell me what does he see
when he looks at you
when he looks at me
what would he say
it seems there's no-one listening

Who would think it still could happen
even in this time and place
politicians, they may save themselves
but they won't save their face
just hope against hope it's not too late

You say there's nothing you can do
is there one rule for them and one for you,
tell me why

Listen can you see that shaft of sunlight
can you see it in my eyes
I can feel the fire that's burning
anger and hope so deep
so deep within my heart before my eyes
for some it's too late
it seems there's no-one listening

Hurry for me, hurry for me, they cry

Other Genesis song Lyrics
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway "The lamb lies down on Broadway And the lamb lies down on Broadway. Early morning Manhattan, Ocean winds blow on the land...."	Fly On A Windshield "There's something solid forming in the air, The wall of death is lowered in Times Square. No-one seems to care, They carry on as if nothing was there...."
Broadway Melody Of 1974 "Echoes of the Broadway Everglades, Lenny Bruce, declares a truce and plays his other hand. Marshall McLuhan, casual viewin', head buried in the sand. Sirens on the rooftops wailing, but there's no ship sailing...."	Cuckoo Cocoon "Wrapped up in some powdered wool-I guess I'm losing touch. Don't tell me I'm dying, 'cos I ain't changed that much. The only sound is water drops, I wonder where the hell I am, Some kind of jam?..."
In The Cage "I got sunshine in my stomach Like I just rocked my baby to sleep. I got sunshine in my stomach But I can't keep me from creeping sleep,..."	The Grand Parade Of Lifeless Packaging "The last great adventure left to mankind" -Screams a drooping lady offering her dreamdolls at less than extortionate prices, and as the notes and coins are taken out..."
Back In N.Y.C. "I see faces and traces of home back in New York City- So you think I'm a tough kid? Is that what you heard? Well I like to see some action and it gets into my blood. The call me the trail blazer-Rael-electric razor...."	Counting Out Time "I'm counting out time, Got the whole thing down by numbers. All those numbers! Give my guidance!..."
