lyrics

CAN YOU IMAGINE?

© Sumitra Nanjundan 2020

Living in solitude
Can you imagine?
Haven’t seen a person in
A month, a year, a lifetime.

Living in hunger and pain
Can you imagine?
Haven’t seen the sun or the rain
A month, a year, a lifetime.

We throw our hands up in despair
But there’s nothing that we do.
It’s happening so far away,
Can you imagine it happening to you?

Doo doo doo doo doo doo

We ask for more and settle for less,
But we always think we deserve the very best,
Can you imagine?
Take what’s there as long as it’s free
Does the word ‘to give’ exist in your reality?

We’ve read the books, we’ve heard the news,
Do we have a right to choose?
What can we change, where can we win?

Can you imagine, there’s nothing left to lose!

Doo doo doo doo doo doo
