Are They Coming
Our hopes and anticipation
Rise when we see
The trucks and helicopters from United Nations
Approaching our village that is merry
Tonight we will sleep on full bellies
The elders rush to the gate
We rush to our huts
To get our sacks
But the elders meet us with despair
On their faces and our excitement changes
To gloom and hope the heavens may
Smile and save us today
