What's it Worth?

What's it worth?

    What's it worth: Love, Hope, Fervor,

If children can die?

    What's it worth: Life, Heart, Freedom,

If mothers still cry?

    What's it all worth?

    What's it all worth?

What's it all worth -- Knowledge, Language: Baggage!

    What's it worth, if the sky is poisoned?

    If the grassy knolls hold death?

If living costs the Earth?

    What's it all worth?

If proud men die and rich men thrive

    Upon the bones of children,

    Upon the tears of  Mothers,

    Upon the lives of the Earth?

    What's it all worth?

What's it all worth,

    If my children can die, their mother still cries,

What worth my life if black turn the skies,

And if I must tread on your back

To survive?

If all must be hated by some

And mothers still cry?

...If I still cry.
