Babies sleep in their sweat
On the hard ground
Flies determined to torment them further
Hungry stomachs and empty hopes
I can stand it no longer
My heart breaks as this injustice exists
I wonder how the little girl can smile and play
All I want to do is run away
I want to feel as though I’m doing some good
But I know I’ll never see them into homes
I worry about air-conditioning at home
When they worry about being chased out of the only place they knew of to sleep
God, I know your heart breaks too
So please give me the strength to keep going
