(Difford/Holland)
The saddest thing I've ever seen
Was a starving face on my TV screen
The desperate face that I saw
Had my disbelief hanging from my jaw
Our harvest could be shared around
Instead it's buried in the ground
The saddest thing I've ever seen
Was a football fan dying for his team
The toughest thing I have ever known
Was a soldier boy who never made it home
It's fiction live before our eyes
It leaves me cold and my heart cries
The greatest thing I've ever seen
Was a newborn child looking up at me
The greatest sound I've ever heard
Was a baby's cry in this wicked world
