Another cold and gloomy morning Another God forsaken day All around us Desolate and grey So little there for our dinner Is there anything for tea
Papa’s somewhere out there scrounging Like a thousand others too What else can they do Scratching through the barren ground Where gardens once grew Anything to see them through
Fighting for a pail of water Just for the basics of the day Oh! why did all the soldiers come And take my home away Left the only legacy A painful memory
Why is Mamma crying She says there’s no milk for baby Can’t you see she’s starving And there’s nothing I can do No, not anybody knew I know the world is watching Won’t they help to see us through
Why did they bomb all our houses Strip the apples from our tree As for those invaders Where is the humanity All I see around me Are scenes of misery
(instrumental break)
Eking out an existence Just struggling to survive Not thinking of a future Or who I hoped to be There isn’t any supper Why has my God forsaken me.
