Dreams fall hard in California,
Dreams shatter among friends,
Words hit like bricks in the heart,
If you knew it could kill you would you fall apart.
Many people never leave their small town,
Many dreams lie in the tall Alabama grass,
Will you pick up a stranger if he held out his heart,
Would you give a dollar to help distant lands.
Is the AIDS problem in Africa not a issue,
If it doesn't affect your home,
If the boy you have never meet dies,
Does he die alone.
