Children of the Dust
*
For how long can we close our eyes
As another child dies?
For how long can we turn away
And don’t do and don’t say?
*
In a far away land
That is hostile to man
Children are crying in the dust
Children are dying in the dust
Children are buried in the dust
For a lack of clean water
*
So please don’t turn away
No, don’t you turn away
Help them live another day
Please help them live another day
All they need is clean water
*
So much sorrow, so much sorrow
But if you’d care
They will see tomorrow
*
For how long can we close our eyes
As another child dies?
For how long can we turn away
And don’t do and don’t say?
*
Thousand’s silently die
Can you hear their last cries?
They are children without a voice
Their lives in pain they have no choice
No they have nothing to rejoice
*
Just give them clean water
I’m saying for Christs sake
When will the world awake?
They drink from a polluted well
Where cholera and poison dwells
Their lives are just a living hell
Help them drink clean water
*
So please don’t turn away
No, don’t you turn away
Help them live another day
Please help them live another day
All they need is water
Just give them clean water
*
So please don’t turn away
No, don’t you turn away
Help them live another day
Please help them live another day
All they need is water
Just give them clean water

It is sad to see a child dying from thirst or hunger, from disease or whatever other accident, be it intentional or just plain incidental, but so many are dying and we are so powerless in front of such carnage. Empathy is not enough. And it will become worse soon.
