Lyrics

[male

vocals] (

Sound

of

a

steady,

rolling

bassline

and

crisp

rim-shots)

Yeah,

keep

the

fire

burning

slow

Listen

to

the

truth,

yeah

Music

is

the

healer

of

the

weary

soul

Hear

the

cry,

listen

well

If

you

walk

down

to

Limpopo

today

You

see

the

clouds

turn

a

shade

of

grey

People

waiting

for

a

hand

to

hold

Stories

of

the

struggle

being

told

Children

standing

in

the

burning

heat

No

shoes

upon

their

tired

little

feet

It

is

the

hunger,

knocking

at

the

door

Leaving

the

cupboard

empty

once

more

Oh,

hunger,

hunger,

why

you

lingering

here?

Causing

so

much

sorrow,

causing

so

much

fear

It

is

the

hunger,

stealing

all

the

light

Turning

the

day

into

a

long,

dark

night

We

need

to

stand

up,

reach

out

a

hand

To

heal

the

spirit

of

this

broken

land

If

you

travel

far

to

Zimbabwe’

s

plain

You

see

the

harvest

waiting

for

the

rain

People

striving

just

to

find

their

way

But

the

hunger

shadows

every

single

day

Over

in

Angola,

hear

the

mothers

cry

Watching

as

the

seasons

pass

them

by

Children

searching

for

a

slice

of

bread

With

so

many

heavy

thoughts

inside

their

head

Oh,

hunger,

hunger,

why

you

lingering

here?

Causing

so

much

sorrow,

causing

so

much

fear

It

is

the

hunger,

stealing

all

the

light

Turning

the

day

into

a

long,

dark

night

We

need

to

stand

up,

reach

out

a

hand

To

heal

the

spirit

of

this

broken

land

If

you

cross

the

sea

to

Liberia’

s

shore

The

struggle

is

the

same

as

it

was

before

There

is

no

work

for

the

ones

who

try

Just

broken

dreams

underneath

the

sky

Look

inside

our

country,

what

do

we

see?

No

schools

for

the

youth,

no

place

to

be

Brother

turns

on

brother,

the

peace

is

gone

Where

is

the

rhythm

of

a

brand

new

dawn?

No

civilization

in

the

greed

we

find

Leaving

the

wisdom

of

the

past

behind

We

need

to

sow

seeds

of

love

and

grace

To

put

a

smile

back

on

every

face

Let

the

music

break

the

chains

of

doubt

That

is

what

the

heartbeat

is

all

about

Oh,

hunger,

hunger,

why

you

lingering

here?

Causing

so

much

sorrow,

causing

so

much

fear

It

is

the

hunger,

stealing

all

the

light

Turning

the

day

into

a

long,

dark

night

We

need

to

stand

up,

reach

out

a

hand

To

heal

the

spirit

of

this

broken

land

Yeah,

we

rise

above

the

hunger

We

stand

tall,

we

stand

true

One

love,

one

heart,

one

vision

For

me

and

for

you

Keep

the

vibration

steady

Peace

in

the

valley,

peace

in

the

soul (

Fade

out

with

a

warm,

skanking

guitar

chord)
