2. My name is Manuel, my hands can tell The story of why you're living so well. I work all my life but my family is poor So you can have coffee, bananas, and more. The land owners say, if I don't mind my way They can find substitute workers to pay. They say my soul will only be free In heaven someday. That's what they say, But I am a child of God ... 3. My name is Jerome, last week I went home And tried to be honest about who I am. But my father walked out,my mother broke down and asked me just how I can say I'm a man. They said if I insist that I'm gay They'll tell the neighbors that I've moved away. They said I'm sick, they said they're ashamed, They wished I was dead. That's what they said ... But I am a child of God ... 4. My name is Elaine, I'm watching the rain, I'm seven years old and I'm tired of pain With drugs and divorce, hunger and war, Kids these days can't just be kids anymore. But I dream of dancing. I dream of play, I dream that wars would all go away. I dream that families together would stay, Eating ice cream. That's what I dream ... For I am a child of God ...
