Hunger and Hope

Rumble, rumble, hum, hum, grumble
Empty bellies make such sad sounds
No baby should be hunger-bound

Men here cannot walk, they stumble
Women cannot rise from these grounds
Rumble, rumble, hum, hum, grumble
Empty bellies make such sad sounds

Bone-weary children here bumble
Please help what is lost here be found
End hunger and hope comes around
Rumble, rumble, hum, hum, grumble
Empty bellies make such sad sounds
No baby should be hunger-bound
