    Story Behind the Song
    This song was written amidst an orange terror alert, but is about all needs for peace.

    Lyrics
    I've never held a gun in my hand
    I use music and lyrics to prove I’m a man
    but i've seen buildings come tumbling down
    and thousands of lives turned to dust on the ground
    and my world turn from blissful to dark
    It takes my breath, death leaves its mark

    I reach out to others, I try to befriend
    I even open doors for the straightest of men
    And love, I keep trying to send
    Even to those who might not comprehend
    And overwork when it comes to polite
    Cause they all deserve this beautiful light

    dry cleaners, taxi cabs, breakfast express
    smile, make the change, leave a tip, read the press
    on the streets, on the subways, in the parks
    Some struggling for more, some just hitting their marks
    All over the world mostly kind when we play
    The innocent all will be thrown away

    We count for nothing
    We count for nothing
    We are so small
    We are so small
    But, we are the ones
    we are the ones who
    pay for it all
    pay for it all

    We count for nothing
    We count for nothing
    We are so small
    We are so small
    But, we are the ones
    we are the ones who
    pay for it all
    pay for it all

    i'm scared of tomorrow like it was a threat
    and i'm in my prime and I’ve cleared up my debt
    but now, i'm afraid to enjoy
    watch me retreat like some scared little boy
    If it was my call, if I had my say
    No innocent all would be thrown away

    We count for nothing
    We count for nothing
    We are so small
    We are so small
    But, we are the ones
    we are the ones
    who pay for it all
    who pay for it all

    We count for nothing
    We count for nothing
    We are so small
    We are so small
    But, we are the ones
    we are the ones
    who pay for it all
    who pay for it all
