Call Their Name

I often wonder How we got us here Where people are starving And living in fear With so many blind to Their base human needs Leaving them hungry With no place to sleep We say it's hard We say it's a burden To reach out and help Someone who's hurting Afraid there is danger In getting too close When they are the people Who need us the most If we could only call their names Learning their stories, and how they became The people they are, how much we're the same The first step is simply Calling their name How could it be we That we've lost our compassion How could it be we We no longer imagine While sitting in buildings Of granite and stone And locking their doors When it's time to go home We claim that we're equal But someone explain Why people are dying And we feel no shame We're sitting in judgment Assigning the blame To those who are helpless Someday we'll learn What real charity means Unselfishly loving With both words and deeds Doing our best To treat all the same Changing the world by Calling their name If we could only call their names Learning their stories, and how they became The people they are, how much we're the same The first step is simply Calling their name
