A BROKEN NATION IN A BROKEN WORLD
With broken families in broken homes
Where broken people with broken hearts
Have broken children with broken starts
Children begging, children sold
Children abused from a few years old
Children working on a rubbish heap
Children empty, children weak
But I see hope, it’s in us
Be loosed, you chains of wickedness
Be free you helpless, you oppressed
Arise O bride come stand as one
We are the answer
Go to the outcast, give to the poor
Comfort the widow, the orphan, the torn
To feed the hungry, be strength to the weak
Set free the captive, bring hope to the thief
But I see hope, it’s in us
We call forth justice
We call forth truth
We call forth peace upon our land
