Building Foundations

There's buildings that keep on falling down
yet everytime the hit the floor they make no sound
no matter how dramatic their fall may be
you'll never see these buildings brodcasted on t.v
never mentioned on sky , never shown on the bbc.
Oh how I pray for a channel four documentary
just so people can see how much these buildings
matter to you and to me.
But the media doesn't give the time
and has failed to recognise that these buildings could've
changed our lives , saved our lives
put and end to all this hunger and strife
let peoples lips say " I have lived life "


These buildings , let me correct myself they're simply foundations
but when foundations are destroyed , what do you have ?
Nothing. Nothing


These foundations are still taken from every nation
these foundations are not saved from starvation
these foundations are quick to grow old
even though they are younger than 16 years old.
tortured , unfed , extremely sick
caring for their whole family
even though they're just kids.


This is less than they deserve
when we panic at the smallest things
they stay calm and reserved
while their community is breaking off bit by bit
spare a thought , just sit & think
where do they go when they've lost hope?
when we turn to music and computer screens
when we find confidence in our friends
they count their friends on their fingertips
including the deceased.
And when we lose friends and relatives
it strikes us with a pain that never goes away
but they lose the ones closest to them on a day to day.
Imagine their pain.


Every second that goes by
their minds and souls blacken with hatred for the world
the world that we also live in.


These children were the foundations of the new world
but they were killed off at six months old.
Who knows what they could've been
a skilled engineer, a respected politician
or who they could have saved
what if they were a doctor, or the scientist
that cured H.I.V & Aids ?


However , not all foundations have been destroyed
we must make it our job to save as many
as we think possible , because nothing is impossible
with our hearts & our minds, with our strength and our might
lets make a stand and develop a plan
lets bulid foundatons for tomorrows man
for tommorrows lady , for tomorrows teen
and for tomorrows baby.


Lets start today , 'cause there's no time to waste
For the future world , I pray
