Another day in Nigeria
The children begged for bread
The crops failed, the well ran dry
When they lost the watershed
A baby dies, its mother cries
The children gather 'round
They're wondering
What the day will bring
Will they be the next one found?
Do you dare to gaze into
Their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
Are they staring holes in you
With their hollow eyes?
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes
In the crowded sheds
The children lay their heads
To escape the Haitian heat
The hunger pains
Drive them to the street
Wond'ring if today they'll eat
Some find food in the refuse heap
Others find disease
Some find it harder just to live
When they can die with ease
The children begged for bread
The crops failed, the well ran dry
When they lost the watershed
A baby dies, its mother cries
The children gather 'round
They're wondering
What the day will bring
Will they be the next one found?
Do you dare to gaze into
Their hollow eyes, hollow eyes?
Are they staring holes in you
With their hollow eyes?
Hollow eyes, hollow eyes
In the crowded sheds
The children lay their heads
To escape the Haitian heat
The hunger pains
Drive them to the street
Wond'ring if today they'll eat
Some find food in the refuse heap
Others find disease
Some find it harder just to live
When they can die with ease
