                <text>You ask me why some people try to be better than the rest&#13;
When underneath the fancy clothes we’re all the same undressed; &#13;
Big house or farm or costly car, that’s what we call success:&#13;
True values lost, and at what cost, in the rat race of excess.&#13;
&#13;
And then there’s why some people try to own all for themselves, &#13;
Be it land or gold, new wealth or old, life’s all about one’s wealth;&#13;
While many starve under cold stars: no house, no bed, no food;&#13;
It’s hardly fair the rich don’t care when we’re all just passing through.&#13;
&#13;
You wonder why some children cry, their lives devoid of joy&#13;
While others feast and grow obese and ease fills up their lives; &#13;
Poor children weep in broken streets, their families scattered far; &#13;
No peaceful sleep, no glow of hope shines with each morning star.&#13;
&#13;
You ask me to explain to you skin colours that we wear,&#13;
Why some think they’re superior to those of different race. &#13;
White or black or yellow hue, or any shade between,&#13;
When we’re pierced and then we bleed it’s all red blood we bleed.&#13;
&#13;
You question why under God’s sky so many creeds proclaim&#13;
To be the one and only way, Man’s destiny and Fate. &#13;
They talk of love and dignity but bring hatred to our streets:&#13;
If only they would walk the talk and practise what they preach.&#13;

                <text>You've spread your cloak upon the earth&#13;
And brought about rebirth.&#13;
Now from beneath the frosted soil&#13;
The snowdrop peeps its head,&#13;
The linnet and the lark announce&#13;
Your arrival with their song&#13;
And tell us all that winter's over:&#13;
Here comes the springtime sun.&#13;
&#13;
And snug within its winter nest&#13;
The hedgehog starts to stir;&#13;
It feels the heat of that springtime sun&#13;
Warming up the earth.&#13;
The woodland and the hedgerow&#13;
The daffodils now dress&#13;
As Nature fills the poet's pen&#13;
With endless word and verse.&#13;
&#13;
The robin who has sung alone&#13;
Throughout the winter months&#13;
Is perched upon the garden wall&#13;
And sings a different song.&#13;
The others know of what he sings&#13;
For they too are so inclined&#13;
To seek a kindred heart as theirs &#13;
With whom to share their time.&#13;
&#13;
You've brought with you a promise&#13;
And a hope of better times,&#13;
It's there amongst the budding trees&#13;
And in the poet's lines,&#13;
It's with the farmers in their fields&#13;
And without across our land &#13;
Upon the springtime breeze.</text>
