Forty years
since we, every one of us,
together sang:
“We Are the World.”

What has happened, 
what has become of us,
did we forget the place
we once belonged?

Where is that future,
we sang of then,
might we ever let 
our dream return

Why, do you wonder,
has it come to an end,
did we forget
to be human?

Singing and prayer,
as we all pretend,
and lose our music
in the end.
