Bitter Rain

The world's too much for me

It's getting so

Too much needs doing here

That I can't do

For me, it's not too bad

I can't complain

But somewhere a kid without a coat

Stands in the bitter rain



The world's too much for me

It's like the end

Too many helpless ones

I can't defend

I can protect myself

From cold and pain

But somewhere a hungry kid

Walks in the bitter rain



The world's too much for me

Although I've tried

Too much goes on, too much

I can't abide

The old give orders

And the young are slain

And somewhere a bleeding kid

Dies in the bitter rain
