Famine

(Eleanor McEvoy)

An act of God has struck us
An act of faith sustains us
But it seems hopeless
And I feel helpless to you
An act of man has hit us
Worse than any God
And I can??t shield you
And I can??t shelter you,but

If you??re in need of comfort
I will do what I can
If I can??t feed your body
I??ll soothe it with my hands
If I can??t ease your hunger
I??ll give you all I have
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
To nourish and love

The country drenched in fever
The";Princess Alice"; leaves her
But I can??t send you
And I can??t hope to save you
The hunger on this Island??s
Spread to every door
And I can??t shield you
And I can??t shelter you,but

Repeat CHORUS
