[Verse 1]
When the sun is warm where you are
And it's comfortable and safe where you are
Well, it's not exactly that way all over

[Chorus 1]
And somewhere in the world
Someone is cold, be aware
And while you're feeling young
Someone is old, be aware

[Verse 2]
And while your stomach's full
Somewhere in this world, someone is hungry
When there is so much, should anyone be hungry?

[Verse 3]
When there's laughter all around mе
And my family and friends surround me
If I seem to be forgеtful, remind me

[Chorus 2]
That somewhere in the whole world
People are weak, be aware
And while you speak your mind
Others can't speak, be aware

[Verse 4]
And while your children sleep
Somewhere in this world a child is homeless
When there is so much, should any child be homeless?
Oh no, not even one child
Be aware

Barbra Streisand is an Oscar-winning, Tony-winning, Emmy-winning, Golden Globe-winning Broadway legend, film star, movie director and one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time - a staggering amount of accomplishments for someone whose mother insisted she not to go into show business.

By the time she was sixteen, she’d graduated high school and was living on her own in Manhattan. After winning a talent contest at a gay bar on West 9th Street, Streisand’s ‘spellbinding’ voice quickly became popular at New York clubs and in Broadway shows. After appearances on a number of popular television shows including The Tonight Show, Streisand signed with Columbia Records and released several top 10 albums in the 1960s, scoring two US top 40 hits with “People” and “Second Hand Rose”.

Her success as a recording artist continued through the 1970s with several more gold/platinum-certified albums and four US “You Don’t Bring Me Flowers”, “No More Tears”, the Oscar-winning “The Way We Were”, and the Academy Award-winning “Evergreen (Love Theme from A Star Is Born)”. The 1980s would begin with Streisand’s biggest-selling release of her career Guilty, a collaborative effort with BeeGees member Barry Gibb. It topped the albums chart in several countries and as did its lead single “Woman In Love”.
