CRY FOR ETHIOPIA Do you hear them crying? Do you grieve their dying, These dark-skinned people of another land? Are they arcane strangers? Do you fear vague dangers In giving them a hand? See their children starving While our own are laughing. Are we turned to stone? Hear our dark-skinned brothers. Hear the grieving mothers. We would hear our own. Do you feel their suffering From hunger and disease; Long for their recovering, Yearn to give them ease? They war with one another While we live in peace, But we have done far worse than they, So let our judgment cease. Do not let them languish In anguish and in grief. Like a candle in the darkness Let us light their starkness, And give them some relief. Let wings of love spread wide Across dark Ethiopia, And love will wing right back to us.
