I wish I'd dared to really care

There is so much non-violence around us but everyone seems to be forgetting things soon. Nobody seems to be making much of an effort to stop violence around us.

When I was a kid
And my classmate was being bullied
I just sat and watched
I wish I'd dared to really care

When I was in school
And a girl was being molested
I just turned around and looked away
I wish I'd dared to really care

When I was walking down the street
And I saw someone's purse being stolen
I pretended not to see
I wish I'd dared to really care

When somewhere in the night a child cried
A woman wept, someone died
I pretended to sleep
I wish I'd dared to really care

May be if I had dared to care a little
May be if I was not so brittle
On one more face there would be a smile
Some one's life would have been less of a trial


MAY BE WE SHOULD ALL DARE TO CARE

lets all of us take a pledge
To care for every face
To care for every race
