I Should Say Something
The Holloways Lyrics

It was only this morning that I realised,
I've been living life unconsciously, stuck in my routine, not realizing what I was missing until this morning.

My conscience was sleeping while I've been alive.
I haven't been aware of my actions or their consequences and have acted without considering my morals or values.

The things in the past that I let pass me bye
I regret not taking the opportunity to investigate things that I may have ignored in the past.

And now I regret that I never did stop to ask why.
I am sorry for being inattentive and not giving enough consideration to the situations I've been in.

The man with the bag and the walking stick limps up and down my road
There is an elderly man who frequently walks down my street with a bag in hand and a noticeable limp.

The kids in the cafe they point and laugh where is their moral code.
Children in the café nearby ridicule the elderly man, but they should have the right values to treat elders with respect.

I should say something but I say nothing I haven't got the nerve.
I want to speak up for what's right but feel too afraid to confront those who are behaving inappropriately.

He's in the twilight years of his life this ain't what he deserves.
The elderly man deserves respect for having lived his long life and should not be subjected to any ridicule or disrespect.

The high street fright on a Friday night, a coward hits his lady,
There is a domestic violence incident on the busy high street on a Friday night, where a cowardly man hits his partner.

Cries out "bitch" you must be mad why do you disobey me.
The abusive man belittles and questions his partner for having her own thoughts and opinions.

We should do something but we do nothing, the public eye turns blind
Despite knowing what's happening, no one intervenes, and society turns a blind eye to the issue of domestic violence.

Domestic violence, is met with silence, in our pathetic times
Sadly, the problem of domestic violence is not given enough attention and is overlooked by many.

And would she have said yes, when wearing her white dress, if violence was included in his vows.
If the woman had known about her partner's violent nature, she might not have agreed to marry him.

I'm sure that she hates it, but she tolerates it, she's married to him now.
The woman may not like the abuse but has no choice but to tolerate it as she's married to him.

The starving girl cries on tv, dying in a third world nightmare
A girl in a third-world country is starving to death; her suffering is being aired on television.

Slouching back we sympathise from the comfort of our armchairs
We sit back in our comfortable armchairs and express sympathy for the starving girl's situation, but we don't take any action to help her or others like her.

We should give something but we give nothing only a little is changed
Although we should be helping those in need through charity, we don't do enough, and only a small change results.

It's quite appalling when tears are falling more often than the rain
The frequency of tears due to people's suffering surpasses that of rainfall, displaying the tragedy of people's heartbreaking situations.

And if you see a mother swear at her poor innocent child
If you see a mother verbally abusing her innocent child.

Do you ever stop and say to her why are you so wild.
Do you ever question why the mother is behaving so aggressively towards her own child?

That kid will grow up to be a fuck-up just like his dear young mum.
The child will likely grow up to have emotional and behavioral issues due to being subjected to mistreatment from their mother.

His little heart is falling apart under your spiteful tongue
The words of the mother are damaging the child's emotional well-being and mental health.

Does this kid deserve this, born into a right mess, the sad thing is he's not the only one.
The child did not deserve to be born into a toxic environment, and unfortunately, many others also live in similar conditions.

I'm sure that he hate it, but he tolerates it, the boy can't choose his mum
The child most likely dislikes such treatment but has no ability to choose their mother, nor do they possess the power to change the situation.

So if you're walking around with your head in the cloud with the lost souls at your feet.
We should remain aware of our surroundings and the people who need our help.

Bear in mind that all mankind may need some sympathy - don't you agree?
We need to remember that everyone, including ourselves, experiences times when they need help and support from others, and being compassionate towards others is necessary.
