Chorus:

^FAnd the rain fa^Amlls and blo^Fws through their wi^Gndow ^FAnd the snow fa^Amlls and blo^Fws through their do^Gor ^FAnd the seasons revo^Amlve 'mid th^Feir sounds of starv^Gation ^FWhen the tides ^Amrise, they ^Fcover the f^Floor

^FAnd they come from the no^Grth and th^Fey come from the s^Amouth And they ^Fcome from the h^Gills and they va^Flleys And they're mig^Frants and far^Gmers and min^Fers and hu^Ammans Our cen^Fsus negle^Gcted to ta^Flly

chorus

And they're Af^Frican, Me^Gxican, Cauc^Fasian, Ind^Amian H^Fungry and hop^Geless Amer^Ficans ^FThe orphans of we^Galth and of ade^Fquate he^Amalth D^Fisowned by this nat^Gion they l^Five in

And with we^Father-worn ha^Gnds On brea^Fd lines they st^Amand ^FYet but one m^Gore degrad^Fation ^FYes, and they're treated like tra^Gmps While we s^Fell them food st^Amamps This thriv^Fing and prosp^Gerous nati^Fon

Chorus

And with ro^Faches and ric^Gkets and r^Fats in the thi^Amckets ^FInfested, dis^Geased, and deca^Fying With ra^Fgs and no sho^Ges and skin^F sores that ^Amooze By the poi^Fsonous po^Gols they are pl^Faying

^FIn shacks ^Gof two rooms that^F are rotting woo^Amd tombs With cor^Fpses brea^Gthing inside th^Fem Yes, and we p^Fity their p^Glight as they ^Fcall in the n^Amight And we do all^F that we can ^Gdo to hide them^F

outro:

^FAnd the rain f^Amalls and bl^Fows through their w^Gindow ^FAnd the snow fa^Amlls in whit^Fe drifts that fall ^G ^Fand the tides r^Amise, with f^Floods in the nurser^Gy ^Fand a child is ^Amcrying ^Fhes hungry and co^Gld ^Fhis life has been s^Gold ^Fhis young face looks ^Gold its the fa^Fce of am^Gerica d^Fying
