Lyrics Be Aware - Laura Nyro

Be Aware

When the sun is warm where you are
And it’s comfortable and safe where you are
Well, it’s not exactly that way
All over
And somewhere in the world
Someone is cold,
Be aware!
And while you’re feeling young
Someone is old,
Be aware!
And while your stomach’s full
Somewhere in this world
Someone is hungry
When there is so much
Should anyone be hungry?
When there’s laughter all around me
And my family and friends surround me
If I seem to be forgetful,
Remind me
That somewhere in the world
People are weak,
Be aware!
And while you speak your mind
Others can’t speak,
Be aware!
And while your children sleep
Somewhere in this world
A child is homeless
When there is so much
Should any child be homeless?
Oh, no, not even one child,
Be aware!
