Verse One:
Starving little children...with no hope in sight...
For the red, yellow....brown, black and white...
Crying for help...in the still of the night....
Hunger's the real war to fight....
Verse Two:
Harvest fields are dried up...hunger's all that will grow...
A mother with child...she carries...dies slow....
Famine sickness...desert sands start to blow...
From this world into God's arms they go...
[CHO] HUNGRY AND HURTING INSIDE....
SURROUNDED BY WARS OF FALSE PRIDE....
WHY CAN'T WE SET HURTING ASIDE....
AND FEED THE CHILDREN...DYING OUTSIDE.....
Verse Three:
Standing alone...braving bitter old winds....
Children are God's special friends....
Hungry and hurting in war no one wins....
Forgive us, O God how we've sinned....
Repeat The Chorus
[CHO] HUNGRY AND HURTING INSIDE....
SURROUNDED BY WARS OF FALSE PRIDE....
WHY CAN'T WE SET HURTING ASIDE....
AND FEED THE CHILDREN...DYING OUTSIDE.....
[Music Reprise/Partial Chorus from second line]
The Tag
Why can't we set hurting aside....
And feed the children....
Dying......outside.......
