Lyrics A Plea For Human Rights - Nino de Angelo

Look in the paper, sensational
Pathetic children surviving in hell
A starving face staring up from the page
Don't we live in a terrible age?

In every village far from the town
Famine and need are there to be found
That look of fear sets me all in a rage
I go cold and turn over the page

I plead for human rights
Can we save them all in time?
I plead for human rights
Can we help them to survive?
It's a monstrosity
Living hell for all to see
What a human tragedy
Only death can set them free

They cry for food, but how long will it take?
We make a move, but our move is too late
What can we do as we run out of time?
Only pray for an end to this crime

How can we live with their death on our mind?
What are we doing in aid of mankind?
I can't stand by as they wither away
Let us stand up and save them today

I plead for human rights
Can we save them all in time?
I plead for human rights
Can we help them to survive?
It's a monstrosity
Living hell for all to see

I plead for human rights
Can we save them all in time?
I plead for human rights
Can we help them to survive?
Oh, what a human tragedy
Only death can set them free

I plead for human rights
