STARVIN' WITHIN
Listen with your heart and you'll hear voices in the wind
The cries of lost, hungry children starvin' from within
Some with empty stomachs because they have no food to eat
Or with no place to call home and are living on the street
Some without a vision in desperate need of hope
Or lacking the self-confidence to "JUST SAY NO" to dope
Some have no families that will stick by their side
Through their anger or their pain, so they turn to suicide
Some don't have one dream that they want to achieve
Or any knowledge about the risen Christ, in whom we can believe
These are not just the cries of a little boy or girl
But they're also from men and women all around the world
You might say; " What can I do or where do I start?"
Well the best place to begin is with the love inside your heart
Now if this is something that you cannot or will not do
Then it's alright, we understand. You must be Starvin' too !
