Beyond the Shadow of Want

Hunger poverty oppression
It does not have to be this way
From the path we have gone astray
Let us then give new expression

To look with love and not aggression
Compassion's what we must convey
Hunger poverty oppression
It does not have to be this way

Empathy counters depression
Don't forget the strength to pray
The world can change and start today
Denouncing with a firm confession
Hunger poverty oppression
