While our leaders -wear their DJ's
and their wives in sparkling gowns,
In an oil-rich land, a soldier
lies face down in the ground...
Sent to free a broken people
from oppression and from pain..
While our leaders party on and on
and sip their fine champagne…
Hungry children cry together
TV pictures show the scenes
Pain and hunger fill their faces
Sorrow fills our plasma screens
And as half the world go hungry
The rest fight wars of shame
Still the leaders party on and on
And sip their fine champagne…
In the five star world of splendour,
A rich man's paradise
Where no-one wants for nothing,
Who cares about the price
But will they find the answer
make poverty history..
And free the poorest people
from their debt and misery.
A world of peace, let freedom reign
Empty words that still refrain
The free lands of democracy
We say these things so endlessly… -so endlessly.
So we must stand together
And fight for what is right
For a world that is united
Free from hunger, hate and plight
And one day this may happen
We must believe it can
And with one voice heard in union
For all our fellow man…
And with one voice heard in union
For all our fellow man.
