lyrics

While I read the news about the mass shooting on October the first in Las Vegas
I was listening to one of my favourite tunes in that time
The song deals with personal feelings and problems
In the face of this horrible, horrible crime
It felt so ignorant and decadent and immoral
To actually feel the lyrics of the song
While I should – and wanted – to feel the shock and the sorrow
For the victims and their families
You know, it felt so wrong listening to it
Of course it is easier to stick to my own little problems
Than facing the world’s worst tragedies
And it’s natural, I think
That’s self-protection
Because we are a highly sympathetic life form
And by today’s lines of communication
We are getting flooded with bad news from all over the globe
All the time
If we would feel for every wrong that is happening worldwide
We would destroy ourselves
But which conclusion can we draw from this?
Should we care less?
I mean, isn’t it one of the great achievements of our time
Of technology and globalization
That we can be part of the big picture?
That we are connected
And able to help people everywhere on this planet?
And doesn’t it imposes an obligation on us to do so?
Well, that’s a question everyone has to answer for themselves
Of course we are all selfish to a certain point
And we always try to find the easiest way
But we are human
And we will always feel the need to help
To be part of something
And to contribute
To the human welfare

WE CARE

From up here everything looks so irrelevant in a way
But then again, nothing else is important
I hope you’re all doing well down there
Good night
