Farmers of Hope
So many people
Wthout hope
Their families
Hanging by a rope
Why they hunger?
Fed by anger
Envy comes as no stranger
Freshly spun out of the manger
Why some have ?
Others not
Are we not children of one God?
What have we done?
To deserve such fate
Brothers & Sisters awaken it is not too late
The day is here no time to hesitate
The weak shall inherit the world
Forgiving those that remain out in the cold
Blind ,forgotten, cripled cannot stand or hold
Start sharing a meal is no big deal
Listen to your heart
Begin to live! Begin to feel!
Are all children not made to laugh?
They are all special in God's eyes
For their sake
Make no mistake
Save this world from your disgrace
Treat each life as yours the same
Ask what little value possessions
Hold?
When it is said
Death treats us all the same
Spend each miserable day
Thinking of self
When there is only certainty in death
Greed won't buy an extra breath
Give a hand up for an other
The life you save may be your brother
Together we have a chance
Let's make a worthy stand
Pray that more understand
That devil amongst us is ignorance
On the march
Raise against their armies let's join arms
Turn your cities towns into farms
The devil's hunger will cease once and for all
He will be defeated and forced to fall
Place your faith
Upon this patch of land
Plant your seeds
They will grow across the sands
Harvest time join hands
There is food of plenty across
each land
Move over there is
Plenty of room for glory
Let it rain let it shine
Show Him we are worthy!
To save all farmers
Reborn as His Army
Standing brave
Rejoicing His name
