HOW CAN WE SAY

How can we say our world is good
When we hold up our hands and they’re covered with blood?
Can it be said that the world is just
While man is obsessed with greed and lust?
And how can we say our world is fair
When millions are hungry, thirsty and bare?

CHORUS:
O ALLAH GUIDE US
ALLAH SHOW US THE WAY
TO A FUTURE THAT’S BRIGHTER
UNLIKE TODAY

How can we say we’re coping quite well
When our souls for the world we are ready to sell?
Can it be said we support human rights
While the colour of our skin is the cause of our fights?
And how can we say we love our brother
When we don’t share the problems with one another?

Chorus

How can we say we’re friends of the earth
When we pollute the sea with our waste and dust?
Can it be said the world is secure
While the threat of the holocaust stands at our door?
And how can we say the world’s free today
When men are imprisoned for the things that they say?

Chorus

And how can we say our world is good
When we hold up our hands and they’re covered with blood?
Can it be said we’re free from lust
When luxuries are needs – Some say they’re must?
And how can we say our world is fair

When millions are hungry – Does anyone care?
