In the dead of night 
You can hear the cry 
Of a sad lonely child 
As he lay in the sand of shame 
His mother will no longer hear 
The hungry cry of that hungry child 
The soul of Zimbabwe is dead 
Along with mothers and child 
And the angels of the dead souls 
Cry out for a free Zimbabwe 
 
Written Sunday June 2005
