PAIN
By Merchant

When I think about the horror in South Africa
The grief of all the lives that lost in India
The starving millions of the world who can't get food to eat
Children who have never had a present or a treat
It hurts so bad... oh oh oh
It makes me sad... oh oh oh
It brings pain, pain, pain
Down inside I feel pain [Down inside I feel pain]
Deep inside I feel pain [Deep inside I feel pain]

With the tension in the Middle East keep rising
The building of nuclear plants increasing
Drugs and disease taking over, something must be done
For those who live their lives each day under the gun
It hurts so bad... oh oh oh
It makes me sad... oh oh oh
It brings pain, pain, pain
Down inside I feel pain [Down inside I feel pain]
Deep inside I feel pain [Deep inside I feel pain]

When you think about the dangers of a nuclear war
What on earth they inventing these weapons for?
War is a dying business, don't they understand?
Why do they continue this path of destruction?
Ah say it hurts so bad oh oh oh
It makes me sad oh oh oh
It brings pain, pain, pain
Down inside I feel pain [Down inside I feel pain]
Deep inside I feel pain [Deep inside I feel pain]

Up to this present time in Hiroshima
People still ain't get over that disaster
And this time it threatens to be one million times worse
Lord, Father, is this this the end of the Universe?
It hurts so bad... oh oh oh
It makes me sad... oh oh oh
It brings pain, pain, pain
Down inside I feel pain [Down inside I feel pain]
Deep inside I feel pain [Deep inside I feel pain]

The Father said unto us, "Peace on earth, goodwill"
Not "Oppress and plunder, segregate and kill"
Why it is my colour still remains a barrier?
Can't we live in peace and harmony with each other?
It hurts so bad oh oh oh... when we fight each other
It makes me sad oh oh oh
It brings pain, pain, pain
Down inside I feel pain [Down inside I feel pain]
Deep inside I feel pain [Deep inside I feel pain]

A Note From The Gull

Thank you, Merchant.

"Patria est communis omnium parens" - Our native land is the common parent of us all. Keep it beautiful, make it even more so.

Blessed is all of creation
Blessed be my beautiful people
Blessed be the day of our awakening
Blessed is my country
Blessed are her patient hills.

Mweh ka allay!
