tell me /show what we gonna do

this song called make aprayer i was touched by this song because it's the same way i think ,and it's speak about afact that most of the people denial

O people
In a hut made of tin and clay
A small boy dreams away
Of clean water and a meal a day
And not to fear mines as he plays each day

O people
Somewhere dark and out of the way
Aids has found yet another prey
To save his life he just couldn’t pay
Tell me what we’re going to do

For our brothers in Durban
For our sisters in Darfur
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?

You might ask yourself
Why should I help these people?
They’ll tell you why
We’re not so different from you
We have dreams just like you
But they were buried with the
bodies of our loved ones

O people
Are we deaf, dumb, and blind?
What is going through our minds?
Don’t we care for the rest of mankind?

O people
We claim to love peace and justice
Why do we preach what we don’t practice?
Let’s help them out of this darkness

Tell me what we’re going to do
For our brothers in Ethiopia
For our sisters in Rwanda
Show me what we’re going to do
Are we just going to sit there?
Nice and cosy on our armchairs
Will we not even make a prayer?

nice poem….
i can’t reply for ur last question!!!!!!!

thank you osesame  but it's not apoem it's asong by sami yusif  .

and i think that he mean in his last question that won't we gonna pray to god to help those people  ? and that is the fewest thing that we can do .

it's abeautiful song and me too touched by it's words but i wonder why there is no many people that make acomment on this topic (i guiss because it's not about sex it's about peace and helping people)

Nice poem indeed, But the question is will only praying help the needy people of the world?

wild cat  , i think that there is no many comments on this topic becaus people don't care for the rest of mankind .

javamanju , what the song mean is that praying is the fewest  thing that we can do and not the only thing !!!!

Thanks for this song, I never heard it befor can u plz give tyhe title?

U r right, we can't go there and combat with them , may be we can't change their situation but at leat it's our duty to pray for them, it's an easy way to help them.

We must not be selfish and think only about ourselves, families and friends, we should think about those who -in this holly month_ are not finding something to eat, those who are loosing everyday one of them.

May Allah help them , give them courage, patience and strenght to deal with their situation.

Thanks for this topic Doha
