Save Darfur

We are a great nation posted at different station. 
Darfur is suffering , blood shed , struggling, famine, deprived and there are 
empty Soul seeking a helping hand. 
A helping hand captured from a seeking sand 
Uplift your eyes and behold our freedom land 
A great nation with an atmosphere of different culture
Rooted from there pilgrim band 
the earth is now flooded with children in hunger
 and there’s hope 
In one heart that cares
One love to share 
Needed for us to cope
There are no weakness without a helping hand 
No burden to heavy without a lift 
There are too many tears in the land 
Which I can’t plant a flower 
There are too many fears in the land
Which I can’t watered 
We are a great nation a reflection of Christ like 
An image created to be at service 
Instead of peace there’s war
Instead of love there’s hate 
Instead of joy there are sorrow
Instead of healing there’s disease
Be not Outcast my brother, be not outcast my sister and just 
Drop one cents on the church basket lest another day a family in Darfur prepared 
a casket.
