Lend a helping hand


Tears

Tears in faces

Faces of our neighbors in other nations

No women no cry

Let the tears dry, and the beauty within shine

Lend a helping hand

To our neighbors in other lands

Disengage from the hate

Our beloved mother nature would not appreciate

Choking, gasping, smothered by fear

We can rise above hand in hand

For we are all brothers and sisters
