HUNGER SONG
(Joyce Brookshire)
   Who's gonna feed the hungry
   Who's gonna feed the poor
   Who's gonna stand and help me fight
   That lean wolf that's howling at my door


When I wake up in the morning
To face another day
Hunger's hanging over my head
There's a weakness in my stomach,. Lord
It's always been that way
Hunger's hanging over my head

When the kids come in from playing
There's nothing there to eat
Hunger's hanging over my head
It makes me feel so helpless
From my head down to my feet
Hunger's hanging over my head

And when the day is over
And it's time to go to bed
Hunger's hanging over my head
My prayers are for tomorrow, Lord
To see my family fed
Hunger's hanging over my head

(as sung by Guy & Candie Carawan)
