<sup>How can people be so heartless
How can people be so cruel
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold

How can people have no feelings
You know I'm hung up on you
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who care about evil
And social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd?
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people be so heartless
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to give in
Easy to help out

And especially people
Who care about strangers
Who say they care about social injustice
Do you only
Care about the bleeding crowd
How about a needing friend?
I need a friend

How can people have no feelings
How can they ignore their friends
Easy to be hard
Easy to be cold
Easy to be proud
Easy to say no</sup>

When you're caught holding big social ideals while ignoring the troubled person in front of you, you need to stop...think...then do.

Never easy, but always worth the effort.

Government and business, Democrats and Republicans, lefties and righties argue over hundreds of billions of dollars in health care costs -- trying to help 250 million Americans -- but they won't walk down to the hospital emergency room, find someone who can't afford the meds they need, put $100 on the counter and just say "I'll pay that for you".

One person at a time.

It doesn't change the world -- unless you're that person.

It shouldn't be easy...it should be hard...but it should be done.
