On this dry land
Lonely I stand
In Darfur Sudan
In the middle of clustered shadow
There is no joy for me to show
Been next to my dead family for too long
Please don’t tell me to be “Strong”
For I’m a lifeless branch, without my family tree
Sinless and affectionate Jesus, I pray you save me
I look up and the sky is crystal clear
But the sun doesn’t seem to appear
Sinking on my own pond of tears
O’ Lord, please pull my soul near
All around me, countless dead bodies lay
And above me, black scavenger vultures sway
Reach out for me with your forgiving hand
And drug me out of this contaminated land
My vision’s blurry; I’m unable to see
My body’s weary off this in land bloody sea
Hoping to reunite with my family
In Heaven, in the eternal garden of Eden
I pray, you take me away
Take me away lord take me away.
Dani.
