In the dead of night
You can hear the cry
Of a sad lonely child
As he lay in the sand of shame
His mother will no longer hear
The hungry cry of that hungry child
The soul of Zimbabwe is dead
Along with mothers and child
And the angels of the dead souls
Cry out for a free Zimbabwe
Written Sunday June 2005
