Well I gCuess that you probably know by now

Every chAmild, every mother of children
I wanted to cFarry the dreams of all pGeople right up to the stCars
And I prCayed that I'd find an answer there
Or mAmaybe I would find a song
Giving a vFoice to all of the hGearts that cannot be hCeard
And for Call of the ones who live in fear
And Amall of those who stand apart
My being thFere would bring us a lGittle step closer togCether
