This is a Reggae song of hope for those who dream of a day when food will be consistently on their table. It is a song about the little children who roam the dusty streets in search of any small morsel of food they can eat. It is song of hope that the listener will be compelled to help in whatever way they can help. Feed the people.
Stoneman wrote produced and performed everything on this recording.

In many ways the songwriter is the person who tells the story he has seen through music. I watched a documentary about the starving nations of the world and the images of those who suffer daily from starvation compelled me to write this song.

Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
One million children die every year from severe malnutrition
One trillion dollars are spent every year on weapons guns and ammunition
We throw away tons of food every day we are obese from over eating
We spend our money on games that we play while food for those starving gets depleted
Let’s put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
In Eretria Chad and Sudan, 70 percent are undernourished
800 million all over the world are starving now and soon will perish
And we spend billions to go out into space just for the thrill of exploration
And we have to know that it is a disgrace when we don’t help the starving nations
To put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
But if you lived in their place you would hear the children crying
And if you saw what they face you would see so many dying
Why do we seek war and hate why don’t we feed all the people
We can put food on their plates watching them starve is so evil
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people and put an end to
Hunger, hunger, lets feed the people
