Apathy

Slow down a moment and let me try*
To call your attention to all these things
You are rapidly passing by
On your highspeed life
These children are waving and laughing at you
But you won’t reward it with a smile
These people are dying and crying
But you won’t even donate a tear
Have you ever thought about this all
How the apathy captivates
You’ve shut away all your feelings in a heart of stone
Don’t crucify yourself
Slow down a moment and let me try
To make you believe that I’d give my everything
Just to see you smile
Smile for me
Slow down a moment
