Four people dreaming

Ten thousand drowning

Six billion searching

Five of them knowing

Nine million crashing

Two angels flying

It ain't in the numbers

It ain't in the time

Three million orphans

Twelve thousand mansions

Four nuns believing

Five million begging

Two doctors trying

Six thousand waiting

It ain't in the numbers

It ain't in the time

Does it really matter where you are?

'Round every corner is a broken heart

You can save a helpless, starving town

With a couple of pennies that you found

It ain't in the numbers

It ain't in the time

Four mothers hoping

Eighteen bombs falling

Three children laughing

Two billion dying

One person praying

Could probably save them

It ain't in the numbers

It ain't in the time
