Famine Lyrics

Famine lyrics

(Eleanor McEvoy)

An act of God has struck us
An act of faith sustains us
But it seems hopeless
And I feel helpless to you
An act of man has hit us
Worse than any God
And I can`t shield you
And I can`t shelter you,but

If you`re in need of comfort
I will do what I can
If I can`t feed your body
I`ll soothe it with my hands
If I can`t ease your hunger
I`ll give you all I have
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
To nourish and love

The country drenched in fever
The"Princess Alice" leaves her
But I can`t send you
And I can`t hope to save you
The hunger on this Island`s
Spread to every door
And I can`t shield you
And I can`t shelter you,but

Repeat CHORUS
