God Bless The Broken Strings

God help the child who never had a shelter

God help them find the strength to carry on

Oh it’s a cold world out there for ignorance

Them children waiting around in the doorway’s of Cape Town  

Them children in the hands of abuser’s

We know it’s not a fair game

Money, you’ve got lots of friends

Happy home and prefect pictures

There’re million little eyes

Staring at you on the borderlines

Of Africa

God bless the broken strings

For the child who’s got he’s own way

God bless the broken strings

For the child who suffers another day

God bless the broken strings

That led them straight to you

God help the child who’s living on the slum’s of Kibera

God help the man who gave that child a gun

Oh it’s not an easy road to walk on the fire

For a child to understand the flames

There’s no straight answer

For a child to led the soldiers 

This boy is hungry and he ain’t got enough to eat

That girl is angry and she ain’t got no shoe to walk   

God bless the broken strings

For the child who’s got he’s own way 

God bless the broken strings

For the child who suffers another day

God bless the broken strings

That led them straight to you

God bless the broken dreams

Let every man help he’s brother  

Let the world know there’s an orphan  

There’re million little eyes

Staring at you on the borderlines

Of Africa

God bless the broken strings   

That led them straight to you
