"Empath"

The Echoing Green

Welcome to this place they call the human race But I just can't keep up This little planet in space, this ship of human grace Has gone bottoms up When we turn our eyes (From the damage we see on the TV screen) (We never lock eyes, never hear them scream) Our passion compromised We've traded feelings for fun When we don't cry for no one Tell me where have we come When our compassion's out of fashion Our sensitivity overcome I feel so numb 'Cause we don't cry for no one I see a picture of me stranded in the sea Of shallow felicity This cloak of unity that's being forced on me Is a fallacy When tears don't fall (when we see the pain of another man's lack) (walk right by and we never look back) Our shame is on the wall From conviction we run 'Cause we don't cry for no one If I could see beyond my needs I'd see a face that's crying for me The Hand of Grace is on this place But we're blind to The Son... When we don't cry for no one (When will tears fall down?)
