G 
let the world hear your cry.
D 
The morning sun rises
C 
and  the sands get warm
G 
A little lifeless baby
D 
lying in his mother's arms
Living in a world
C 
where the daily reality
is a nightmare
G 
No holler diamonds
D 
so when she cry they cover their ears
G 
Her cry shall echo in their sleep
Men without conscience
D 
shall never have no peace
Cover your dying child
C 
and let him rest in peace
G 
D 
And just remember, you're not sleep

Cry, woman of Africa
Release your pain,

and the world should feel ashamed

Cry, children of Darfur and Somalia
A 
Your brain shall never be in vain

Some watch through the television
C 
without any human connection

they're indecisive

They can't come to see you

because of selfishness, they're blinded

She wants to believe that this is a dream
But when reality hits,
D 
the pain feels so real
C 
She's out of tears, so she cries inside

While gushin' sand and flies
D 
From her baby's eyes

The sunlight drifts away
C 
as the night sky sleeps
G 
From within the distance
D 
she heard a woman in baby weep
She doesn't know if
C

So with a heavy heart

she prayed to Jack to ease her sorrow
