Hunger No More

Sweet child of this world
You’ve known only pain
You starve for attention
This world’s greatest shame
Sad eyed innocent
Skin over bone
Dying in a world
Of riches unknown

Does nobody wonder
What you’re dying for
Just close your brown eyes
And hunger no more

Senators, businessmen
Come join the feast
Stuff yourselves silly
Don’t look to the east
With mansions of glory
And nice things to wear
Don’t spend your time thinking
Of others out there

Does nobody wonder
What they’re dying for
Close your eyes and pretend
They will hunger no more

Brothers and Sisters
Who make up the whole
Union of souls
Accept your own role
Stand up and be heard
Let them know that you care
With the wealth we’ve been given
We must surely all share

The children are dying
They are mine and they’re yours
Is it only a dream
That they’ll hunger no more
