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 couldn’t pay | |
Tell me what we’re going to do | |
For our brothers in | |
Durban For our sisters in | |
Darfur Show me what we’re going to do | |
Are we just going to sit there? | |
Nice and cosy on our armchairs | |
Will we not even make a prayer? | |
You might ask yourself | |
Why should | |
I help these people? | |
They’ll tell you why | |
We’re 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? | |
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind? | |
O people We claim to love peace and justice | |
Why do we preach what we don’t practice? | |
Let’s help them out of this darkness | |
Tell me what we’re going to do | |
For our brothers in | |
Ethiopia For our sisters in | |
Rwanda Show me what we’re going to do | |
Are we just going to sit there? | |
Nice and cosy on our armchairs | |
Will we not even make a prayer? |
O people In a hut made of tin and clay | |
A small boy dreams away | |
