O People!
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day
O People!
Somewhere dark and out of the way
AIDS has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldnt pay
Tell me what were going to do
For our brothers in Durban,
For our sisters in Darfur,
Show me what were going to do
Are we just going to sit there
Nice and cowzy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer 2x?
You might ask yourself
Why should I help these people?
Theyll tell you why
Were not so different from you
We have dreams just like you
But they were buried with the
Bodies of our loved ones.
O People!
Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Dont we care for the rest of mankind?
O People!
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach but we dont practice?
Lets help them out of this darkness
Tell me what were going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia,
For our sisters in Rwanda,
Show me what were going to do
Are we just going to sit there
Nice and cozy on our armchairs?
Will we not even make a prayer 4x?
