A 21st Century Answer to U2's PRIDE (In the Name of Love)

Hunger makes us brothers.....
|
A child is dying a dawn beyond crying
Crouching in the dust of an African road
Skeleton eyes that once looked for mother
Gone two days now searching for food
Death is coming to still her hunger
Death is filling her swollen belly
The village is silent as an unspoken prayer
But for guns in the distance
Haunting the African air.
Hunger makes us brothers hunger gives us dreams
Spirit is water life is a stream.
A man and a woman stare into the distance
Lost in the dark of an American night
Skelton hearts once erotic and tender
Aching to remember a blaze burned down to embers.
Hunger makes us brothers hunger gives us dreams
Spirit is water life is a stream.
Five billion spirits will share this sunrise
Five billion tongues of a single flame
Five billion bellies five billion heartbeats
Five billion people on a ball in space.
The hungry are starving for food and for justice
The empty are starving for love and for soul
The stars are silent as an unspoken prayer
But the cry of our spirits rises
Like birds in the air.
Older than nations older than tribes
Stronger than hatred deeper than lies
Hunger makes us brothers hunger gives us dreams
Spirit is water life is a stream.
Brother, come on brother…
