Jenny,

you picked my absolute favorite Sting lyrics. Think how powerful those words are! My second choice would be:

 

"Seems that when some innocent dies
All we can offer them is a page in a some magazine
Too many cameras and not enough food

This is what we've seen
Driven to tears..."

 

I was in Jr. High when Live AID and the Ethiopia Famine were being publicized and this made me really stop and think that the things I was seeing on TV were real people, not just pictures. It made an impact on me. I am grateful to Sting for that. Also, I would probably have never read Lolita if not for him, not to mention countless other books for which I am also grateful.
