Ethiopia
They have never seen rainThey don't even know how to smile anymore
There aren't even any tears left
In their eyes so big
The children of Ethiopia
Are onboard a ship
That no longer has sails nor oars
Waiting for the wind
Far from the hearts and from the eyes
Of our cities and towns
Ethiopia is slowly dying
Slowly
Nothing but a song for them
To open our eyes
It's so much yet so little
It's so little
But for every child who falls
Who dies far from the eyes of the West
Our sky becomes darker
And our future less bright
In this land of drought
Only graves bloom
Despite all of our riches
Their sun forms our shadows
Far from the hearts and from the eyes
Of our cities and towns
Ethiopia is slowly dying
Slowly
Nothing but a song for them
To open our eyes
It's so much yet so little
It's so little
Let's give them futures
In exchange for nothing
Let's give them life
Just life
Here at home the forest falls
There the desert advances
Faster than the dove
In a sky of indifference
The children the Third World
Only have a shadow of a chance
Every day, every second
Let's stop the silence
Far from the hearts and from the eyes
Of our cities and towns
Ethiopia is slowly dying
Slowly
Nothing but a song for them
To open our eyes
It's so much yet so little
It's so little
Far from the hearts and from the eyes
Of our cities and towns
Ethiopia is slowly dying
Slowly
Nothing but a song for them
To open our eyes
It's so much yet so little
It's so little
