And who by fire, who by water
Who in the desert, who in the ocean
Who by disease, who by thirst
Who in a great epidemic
Who by the bombs
And who among our kids will survive?
And who by despair, who by weapons
Who in these realms of fear, who by something blunt
Who by avalanche, who by hurricane
Who for his greed, who for her hunger
And who among our kids will survive?
And who by brave assent, who by accident
Who in solitude, who with resent
Who by sacrifice, who by his own hand
Who in mortal heat, who in suffocation
And who among our kids will survive?
