As the darkness falls around them
They desperately need friends
Help from all the people
On whom they must depend.
They need all our donations
Not moneymaking schemes
To give them food and water
And to fulfill their basic needs.
I pray they will be blessed
As relief is sent their way
And that the persons needed
Can be with them each today.
And for those who haven’t answers
Of loved ones in the zone
May your tears soon fall on smiles
And their voices again be known.
As we reach into the darkness
And grab them by the hands
May we lead them to the sunrise
Of their sorrow’s end.
