Chains of Poverty

In the corners of our world Lies a pain that we can't ignore A cry for help, a call for aid From those who hunger, cold and poor Their voices muted, by the noise Of our own lives, so full of joys But if we pause, and truly see Their plight, we'll know what we must be For poverty, it's not a curse But a problem we must all reverse With every step, and every act We can help bridge this cruel fact We can give hope, we can give love We can lift their eyes, to the skies above For in our hands, lies the power To change their fate, in this very hour So let us rise, with hearts of gold And break the chains, of poverty's hold For in their smiles, we'll find our own And build a world, that's truly home A world where none are left behind And every soul, can truly find The love, the peace, the joy they need To flourish, and to truly be freed So let us stand, with hands held high And wipe the tears, from every eye For in this fight, we must unite And end poverty, with all our might.
