David Lessard - What's It All About?

How many children died today?
How many abortions were done?
Life in the womb is still life,
Eyes that will not see the sun.

How many people shot today?
How many of them died?
How many hearts were broken?
How many of them cried?

How much food was thrown away?
With the garbage that went out?
How's the air pollution in town?
What the hell's it all about?

It's about solace for the soul,
It's about loving your fellow man;
It's about rickets and diarrhea,
it's about following God's plan.

It's about peace and brotherhood,
It's about justice and salvation;
It's about love, prayer and hope,
It's about us as a caring nation.
