For Whom the Bell Tolls ?


Tell me Jesus for whom the bell tolls? For the warrior standing vigil at the LAC? Unaware of the bullet that may come Killing him but killing the dreams of his kins too Waiting for his arrival back at home in village Tell me Jesus for whom the bell tolls? For the emigrant labour working overtime For a contractor laying down the metal road Cause he's to send money for his ailing father Oblivious of the joy rider driving his SUV like a nut That won't only crush him but crush the aspirations Of his poor father, young wife and children Tell me Jesus for whom the bell tolls? For Pandemic warriors working nonstop in Hospitals? To save millions of patients from a deadly virus Unaware of the dangers lurking around That may abruptly end their lives anytine Tell me Jesus for whom the bell tolls? For farmers agitating on roads in the freezing cold? Asking for a fair price for their hard earned crops Unbeknown of the vagaries of cruel winter To which they may succumb some day Tell me Jesus for whom the bell tolls?
