May you never see children hungry
May you never hear parents dying
May you never hold out your hand
And plead for help from a turned back.
May you never have hope taken from you
May you never have dignity denied you
May you never hold out your hand
And plead for help from a turned back.
May there always be food on your table
May there always be blankets to warm you
May you never hold out your hand
And plead for help from a turned back.
May your children grow straight and strongly
May they live to be wise and kindly
May they never hold out their hands
And plead for help from a turned back
