Harder to Care

Richard Hamersma

Lyric Only


It keeps getting harder to care
It gets even harder to try
Death and destruction are just raining down
It’s even hard to stay safe and dry

What’s happening around the world
The time for hope is getting late
Love seems so much harder to find
Than bigotry and hate

Seems it just gets harder to care
Just harder to care…harder to care

Morality takes a back seat now
As only greed and power lead the way
Violence is what rules the world
Conscience and good cheer are pushed away

Our highest leaders are arrogant and corrupt
Making deals behind closed doors
Lying about their real motives and beliefs
Like being forthright seems too much a chore

Seems it just gets harder to care
Just harder to care…harder to care

We’re left just staring into the void
A single voice of hope is hard to hear
Seems like every new messenger brings evil reports
Of someone or something else to fear

Our dreams are vanishing
Our lone voice seems to get lost
But not listening  or speaking to others
Is just too high a cost

It keeps getting harder to care
It gets harder to even discuss
But maybe a ray of hope can shine
Let’s start between us
Let’s start between us
