Lyrics
Chorus I
faces and eyes of hunger, they don't go away from lonely cries
faces and eyes of hunger, they don't lie.
faces and eyes of hunger, they don't share the friendly shies,
faces and eyes of hunger,
they just die.
Verse 1
the mothers of hunger can only cry, when she's got to choose which child may live or die, and she wonder's....
Bridge
Can there be two worlds? One having more than they need... Can there be two worlds? The other needing more than they.....have?
Repeat Chorus
Verse II
The father's of the faces can't afford to cry, he's wondering how will his family
survive? Not much....longer.
and so he wonders.......
Bridge I Repeat
