I turned my back on the the helpless,
Turned a blind eye to the weak.
I chose the most convenient lame excuse.
"Their problems are too much for me."
"For I am only one and I struggle to survive."
Now I'll forever know the shame of the selfish.
It will haunt me 'til I die.
I critisized the rich and royal,
Said they could but won't do their part.
I spoke in poison words about them all.
Those words controlled my hateful heart.
I scared myself until I knew it was I who should learn to care.
For if I could kill my conscience, I'd leave it laying there.
Now from you I hear an answer, or a clue there is a light.
You have been the unsung hero in desperation's home tonight.
One by one you came to thousands. Now before your work is done
Take the cynic from my soul; let me join you.
Help me be a worthy one.
Drive the cynic from my soul; let me join you.
Could I be a worthy one?
