Eleanor Mcevoy - Famine lyrics

(Eleanor McEvoy)

An act of God has struck us

An act of faith sustains us

But it seems hopeless

And I feel helpless to you

An act of man has hit us

Worse than any God

And I can't shield you

And I can't shelter you,but

If you're in need of comfort

I will do what I can

If I can't feed your body

I'll soothe it with my hands

If I can't ease your hunger

I'll give you all I have

To nourish and love

To nourish and love

To nourish and love

The country drenched in fever

The"Princess Alice" leaves her

But I can't send you

And I can't hope to save you

The hunger on this Island's

Spread to every door

And I can't shield you

And I can't shelter you,but

Repeat CHORUS
