Wars have come and gone
I turn far away
Look at Vietnam
What more need I say?
But there on the news
Is a child worth all the fighting
The food you tried to send them
They stole away!
The help you tried to lend them
Was sold away!
Children of Somalia
A price high to pay
For a government of gangs
At dangerous play!
Too hungry to dream
Their weary eyes
Convey only confusion!
The food you tried to send them
They stole away!
The help you tried to lend them
Was sold away!
The world away from their homes
Near Christmas Day!
To see the Morean call
The death-bus haul
Its passengers from
Where the Nutters play
The children's lives away
I can't wait 'till I get myself back home!
Emotion kept at bay
Gets you through the day
I can't wait 'till I get myself back home!
The food you tried to send them
They stole away!
The help you tried to lend them
Was sold away!
The food you tried to send them
They stole away!
The help you tried to lend them
Was sold away!
The food you tried to send them
They stole away!
The help you tried to lend them
Was sold away!
