Lyrics
when i wake up each day
and i see a brighter day
I say God I'm grateful but I know
That there are people living in extreme poverty
No clothes to wear, no food to eat
No house to live
so i wish to reach out for them
hold them by my hand
give them what to eat
And show them where to sleep
So i wish to call on you
to join hands with me
Let's put a smile on everybody's face
chorus:
Common father, mother, brother and sister
let's make the family a better place
for you and me
Let's help the widows, orphan,
women and children
From the family,together
We build the world
I see a child suffering with heart condition
I see the children hawking in the street
I see the underprivileged crawling
and begging for some food
I see the elderly weeping
No livelihood
Don't you see our brothers and sisters
suffering in the prison yard
don't even know when they'll be free
Let's empower the women
Don't let the family down
Let's work for a brighter day
