(eleanor mcevoy)
An act of God has struck us
An act of faith sustains us
But it seems hopeless
And I feel helpless to you
An act of man has hit us
Worse than any god
And I cant shield you
And I cant shelter you,but
If youre in need of comfort
I will do what I can
If I cant feed your body
Ill soothe it with my hands
If I cant ease your hunger
Ill give you all I have
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
The country drenched in fever
The"princess alice" leaves her
But I cant send you
And I cant hope to save you
The hunger on this islands
Spread to every door
And I cant shield you
And I cant shelter you,but
Repeat chorus
