lyrics

Wow!...Ooh!...Where are you?...Ah! I'm not alone.
C'mon, anybody got a bit of brass?...Hahaha...I knew you was there, hiding somewhere!
Here we go. Yeah! We've got a long journey ahead of us now!

When next door's village falls to the ground,
You step up...Oh yes, there's help around.
When next door's farmers lose their land,
You step up...Oh yes, you give a hand.

You'll put bread on their table, they're dying of hunger.
Fill up their cup, they're dying of thirst.

I don't want to get on your case - I know already, you've done so much - I know

You stepped up as soon as you heard the news
Thank you.
But the end of this song don't mean the end of their blues...now
Think! We got more to do.

We gotta put more bread on their table for their hunger.
So fill their cup - so poor - so pour. Step it up, step it up more ...

Hu-hu-hu-hunger...Step it up...Now!

Now let's look at tomorrow's hunger.
Y'all are stepping so good! Now the next step. Are you ready? Huah!

Build that barn and plant that corn,
Then blow your horn.
Cuz you'll be done when they're back up and running
From dusk to dawn...then they'll have:

Enough bread on their table to end their hunger.
And more than enough in the cup, to be over the worst of the thirst and the worst
Of their hunger.

I'm done.
