Make Poverty History

A wave of water crashed over me
I am a victim of the tsunami
To survive is a struggle every day for me
Please help make my poverty history

CHORUS
What we get in aid
We give back next day
In interest on our country's debt
We pay
Trade rules against us
No fair wage
Make poverty history
The world must change

A wave of despair crashed over me
I am a victim of debt you see
To survive is a struggle every day for me
Please help make my poverty history

CHORUS

A wave of oppression crashed over me
I'm a victim of unfair trade you see
To survive is a struggle every day for me
Please help make my poverty history

CHORUS

A wave of anxiety crashed over me
I'm a victim of HIV AIDS you see
To survive is a struggle every day for me
Please help make my poverty history

CHORUS

A wave of fear crashed over me
I am a victim of war you see
To survive is a struggle every day for me
Please help make my poverty history

CHORUS

A wave of joy crashed over me
I'm a receiver of hope you see
Your dream is for justice and equality
You campaign to make poverty history

You kick up a fuss
You get on a bus
On the 2nd of July to Edinburgh rush
You tell the G8 what's the buzz
'MAKE POVERTY HISTORY'
You, me, US!
