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 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?
