Far from the Arms of Hunger

Far from the arms of hunger

Far from the world disorder

Beyond the reach of warfare

Blinded by faith no longer

No longer free to plunder

No longer safe to rule

A world no longer ours alone

Where people walk in wonder

And speak to one another

And recognize as brother

The face across the border

Across a sea of differences

Across the drifting sands

The joining of our hands in time

When will we find

We can no longer look away

When will we mind

The killing in our name each day

When we decide

That all our might just weighs us down

Then will we find

The means to turn our world around

When will we find

When will we mind

When we decide

The means to turn our world around

Far from the arms of hunger

Far from the world disorder

Beyond the reach of war

There is a world where we belong
