Make A Prayer |
| 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 cowzy on our armchairs? |
| Will we not even make a prayer (2x)? |
| 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 dead, 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 but 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 cozy on our armchairs? |
| Will we not even make a prayer (4x)? |
