I stepped on to the crumbling sidewalk
Of a nation that claims to be
A place of truth and freedom
A land of opportunity
We trust in God, this nation proclaims
But trust died years ago
And God is among the list of names
Of people you don't know
Chorus:
There is a famine for love sweeping this nation
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There's a famine for hope that's killing my generation
There's a famine killing all mankind
There's an echoing distant memory
Of love that died in the Aquarian age
Now the air is thick with hatred
Fear and anger are turned into rage
My eyes are stinging with the tears that I weep
For the death of souls and lives
Some buried alive from sadness
Others perish from guns and knives
Chorus:
There is a famine for love sweeping this nation
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There's a famine for hope that's killing my generation
There's a famine killing all mankind
Musical Break
Oh won't you let me get you a doctor
Who can save your dying spirit
He's been calling your name for a long time
Have you listened? Can you hear it?
"A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief"
It was for you he died
And His word of life can heal your soul
And fill that emptiness inside
Chorus:
There is a famine for love sweeping this nation
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There's a famine for hope that's killing my generation
There's a famine killing all mankind
