Temperatures exceeding hot both land and people start to rot Can't provide for themselves because resources are so nil I sympathize it's enough to make me cry When we got so much and they have none and they ain't got no place to run CHORUS: This makes it hard to, down there it's hard to survive Situation's out of hand starvation all across the land U.S. aid can only do part of what needs to be done So the story goes on and on how long who knows? Salvation is the only thing that matters to these human beings CHORUS Emaciated little kids don't know what happy childhood is Living through a ten year drought is more than simply doing without CHORUS Temperatures exceeding hot both land and people start to rot Can't provide for themselves because resources are so nil CHORUS
