Famine Child

This is actually a song I'm writing, so just the words without notes might not make a lot of sense. Sorry.

Ooooooh

Oooooh '

Please Saint Peter

Help my starving child

He's got ' 

No place else he can call home.

So hungy

Bones so small

Nothing else to do but crawl

And beg for just one more meal.

Oh Staint Peter

Help this child '

Hurts my heart to see him cry

So small.

He's so tired '

Can't go on '

Only want to hold him in my arms.

And see him smile just once up at me.

But instead I see him cry

Sitting by his bedside asking why.

Why can't he be like the other children '

Why can't he just go out and play?

I sit up awake all night cryin'

Can't watch the tears run down his face no more

Oh no more.

Please Staint Peter

Help my starving child.

All he wants is a place to call home '

I know that he'd be safe right there with you

And there is nothing I want more than to see his smiling face

Just once maybe up at me.

Oh I can't believe this is my child '

So run down

So weak

So small

So frail.

He can not stand

He can not breath all on his own

Oh please '

I need some help

Just save my child

I swear I'll make it

On my own '

Just get him out

Of this place

Oh Lord.

My child's only four

He needs some help

So please

Please Saint Peter help my starving '

Child.

ha, this isn't bad at all. It's very beautiful, I can feel the emotions pouring out, and can definitely see this being a song. I love the raw & real words put into this, and the subject matter is really devestating but true. I like this. Great piece :)
