Hello all you people.

How can you not see me here,

dying, dying, dying,

From emptiness of tear?

Hello all you people.

Have none of you a heart,

beating, beating, beating,

With compassionate restart?

Hello all you people.

How is it that you can’t see?

rejected, rejected, rejected,

And abandoned souls as me?

Hello all you people.

How can you be so cruel and not,

perceive, perceive, perceive,

And seek for what should be sought?

Hello all you people.

Forget all of those things you own;

debris, debris, debris,

From materialisms’ throne.

Hello all you people,

Aren’t people more important and,

eternal, eternal, eternal?

For soon life will be no more than sand.

Hello all you people.

Hear me at last when I am gone; Only…

caring, caring, caring,

Will last beyond this fading dawn.
