What is the cost of making 5 million families safer
What is the cost of relieving 5 million families from fear of sundering
What is the cost of compassion
What is the cost of securing children in the safety of their family?
What is the cost of turning a blind eye
And refusing to allow the children of 5 million families
To lose that knot of anxiety in their belly
What is the cost of being a compassionate country?
