What About Me
Well there's a little boy waiting at the counter of the corner shop
He's been waiting down there, waiting half the day,
They never ever see him from the top
He gets pushed around, knocked to the ground,
He gets to his feet and he says...
Refrain
What about me?
It isn't fair
I've had enough,
now I want my share
Can't you see,
I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
Well, there's a pretty girl serving at the counter of the corner shop
She's been waiting back there,
waiting for a dream,
Her dreams walk in and out, they never stop
Well, she's not too proud,
to cry out loud
She runs to the street and she screams...
Refrain
What about me?
It isn't fair
I've had enough,
now I want my share
Can't you see,
I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
More than you give...
Take a step back and see the little people
They might be young, but they're the ones that make the big people big
So listen as they whisper:"What about me?"
And now I'm standing on the corner,
all the world's gone home
Nobody's changed,
nobody's been saved
And I'm feeling cold and alone
I guess I'm lucky, I smile a lot
But sometimes I wish for more than I've got...
Refrain
What about me?
It isn't fairI've had enough,
now I want my share
Can't you see, I wanna live
But you just take more than you give
What about me?
What about me?
What about....me?
What about me?
What about me?

My TeenAngel and I watched some today and cried. There is so much prosperity in the world. Enough to give away. If everyone who could give a dollar gave one, imagine.....
We watched the concert today, and were totally moved ( as we knew we would be). I believe that this concert has moved millions across the globe. My prayers for the upcoming leaders at the G8 summit. Africa needs more than debt erased..they need grants and hands up to become a fair trade country..to become a well oiled machine and pull themselves out of poverty.
God Bless you for sending me the link for the ONE Campaign. Your tender and caring soul will always shine for the humainty of others. You are loved, Renee. God Bless you.
Love,
Sarah
