rolling up our sleeves and trying to resurrect a world that's dying [Russ Taff]
We got a world that's dying [Russ Taff]

Down in Ethiopia a silent baby clings to an empty breast [Evie Karlsson]
Down in Ethiopia another cries for food or eternal rest [Phil Keaggy]
We can touch somebody. Reach out with love to a helpless face [Scott Wesley Brown]
Everybody is our brother and sister [Scott Wesley Brown/Michele Pillar]
Reach out and be an agent of grace [Michele Pillar]

Do something now See their broken lives, pick up the pieces Do something now Open up your heart, share the love of Jesus
