Lyrics
Song title: MAKE POVERTY HISTORY
Verse 1:
People on the streets
Don?t know how to get
Their daily bread that they can eat
People on the streets
Don?t know how to find
Some shelter so they some peace
If we really care
We should join our hands
Put an end to this
Painful misery
If you wanna make
A difference to this world
Save those children dying
From this misery
Rhyming Chorus:
Ashamed of what I see
I think of you and me
Ashamed of what I see
I think of how to heal
Verse 2:
Crawling in my bed
Weeping in my cell
Closing eyes I?m dead
Don?t know where I head
Mourning in the day
Howling in the night
Suffering in the pain
This is what I am
Is there anyone?
Who can carry on?
Put an end to this
Fight that?s going on
I hear you call that name
See you in bad shape
Do you understand?
Is it not a shame?
Rhyming Chorus:
Help yourself, Genuine case
I will be on your side
Help yourself, Genuine case
World would be by your side
People on the streets
Don?t know how to get
Their daily bread that they can eat
People on the streets
Don?t know how to find
Some shelter so they some peace
Bridge 1:
If this world wants to wipe out poverty
All it needs is heart with sympathy
If this world wants to kill pain and sorrow
All it needs is heart with selfless love/compassion
If this world wants to see equality
Put an end to your superiority
Rhyming Chorus:
Give yourself one last chance
Make poverty history
Give yourself one last chance
Make poverty memory
Bridge 2:
Sometimes I hear a song calling me silently
Sometimes I cry alone coz I?m in helpless state
Sometimes I think that there is no end to this
Sometimes I pray to god wishing he could be here
Each time I think of you my soul cries deep inside
Each time I feel for you my soul weeps deep inside
Verse 3:
Crawling in my bed
Weeping in my cell
Closing eyes I?m dead
Don?t know where I head
Mourning in the day
Howling in the night
Suffering in the pain
This is what I am
If we wanna make this a memory
Its time for you and me to solve this mystery
If we gonna make poverty history
Heal our mother earth from this misery
Rhyming Chorus:
Living in poverty life is in insanity
Living in poverty lying in misery
Verse 4:
Ohho,ohho. Eehoo,eehoo
There?s nothing they can?t do, If they really wanna do
They wont leave you and me, On the streets of misery
There?s nothing they can?t do, If they really wanna do
They would rescue you and me, From the streets of misery
