VERSE 1. Another cross On another grave Another infected Baby to save Her cries pierce the silence As they lay her mamma down She's just the first of many today In this forgotten Botswana town
CHORUS. No hope to speak of No help on the way No oil in the ground That would send any help their way No hope to speak of No help on the way No oil in the ground No oil in the ground
VERSE 2. Ebony skin On a cotton shroud The sun comes up Through lavender clouds Her cries pierce the silence As they lay here daddy down He's just the first of many today In this abandoned Botswana town
CHORUS.
BRIDGE. It's approaching from the distance I can feel it everywhere The storm is descending quickly Dark clouds of despair It's only rain! It's only rain!
