    Story Behind the Song
    After 9/11 there was alot of outrage over the loss of life.

    In the early hours of Dec. 3, 1984, gas leaked from a plant in Bhopal, India, owned and operated by Union Carbide. The state government reported that approximately 3,800 persons died, 40 persons experienced permanent total disability, and 2,680 persons experienced permanent partial disability.

    There were no wars initiated after this incident, in fact few Americans knew or cared.

    Ethiopian Prime Minister Meles Zenawi has warned that his country faces a famine worse than that of 1984 which killed nearly one million people and sparked a big international relief effort.

    Americans are so fortunate and could show much more compassion for other countries pain. Our suffering just doesn't compare to what the rest of the world experiences.

    Lyrics
    Standing at ground zero is more than one can bear
    You can feel it in your body, you can taste it in the air
    But this our greatest loss can't even be compared
    To the lives lost each and everyday
    To nothing but apathy

    We cringe at the thought of just one lost innocent
    These our precious moms and dads, sons and daughters of Americans decent
    But what of all the bloodshed for oil and power and greed
    What of all the lives laid down by nothing but apathy.

    All over the world
    All over the world

    Standing at ground zero with eyes closed it's hard to take a peek
    It's hurts to hear forgiving words about turning the other cheek
    Vengence is may sayeth man, and we will see justice done.
    We will make the killers pay and keep evil on the run

    Somewhere in a desert a child lies dying in her mothers embrace
    Maybe from the cold or from a gunshot wound,
    Maybe with starvation on her face
    We who fight for our addictions, we who would gladly die for our ease
    We live without compassion and we spread just like a disease
    All over the world.

    When will we learn that to harm one kills us all
    When will we realize the self righteous always fall
    When will we take a chance. Listen to the small voice inside
    When will we understand we're all fathers and mothers and sisters and brothers
    All over the world.
