Paradise/ You're the voice

Hubby's listening to Phil Collins: very loud!
"Another day for you and me in paradise"
Aren't we the lucky ones? Living in this lucky country!
To have a roof over our heads with electricity and water
To know that we can ask for help and it is given!
To know that doctors are just a phone call away!
What about those who live in hell: right here on earth?
What about those who cry out in great need?
What about all those poor people in the Philippines?
What a mess they are in: no homes, no food, no water!
Lord we live in such different worlds yet we are all here
Yes we are all here: on this earth: side by side
How unfair a life so many have to live: no choice!
Yes they are so poor: they have no voice!
No-one to speak for them: Lord it is so unfair! 
We each think we have no chance to help these people
But we do: we have to speak out against these wrongs
Each & everyone of us has a voice: we must use them!
Australian John Farnham sings "You're the voice!"
A beautiful song for sure: let's make our voices heard!
Let us all be part of making a change in this sorry world!
We must get together to help everyone that we can!
Not one of us has the right to judge how another lives
We have got to stop looking at people with judgmental eyes
It is up to God to judge: He will judge all who do wrong!
