Words and Music by Phillip Sandifer
Down in Sao Paulo kids live in the streets
It rains death in Africa there`s nothing to eat
Blacks hate the whites, whites hate their own
And we deal with our guilt by living life stoned
Chorus
We are crying for a saviour
While we scratch at the surface
The roots go untouched
We are crying for a saviour
One who`s given us the answer
And whose motive was love
Philanthropies profit from taxes deferred
While needing recipients can`t buy a shirt
Well the system it`s not working and it`s beyond repair
An overhaul`s due but there are too few who care
Chorus
The answer`s been given through a death on a cross
As Christ died returning to us that which we`d lost
Relations with God once again are begun
As we come to know him through are saviour His son
Repeat Chorus
