Price Already Paid
What’s your response to genocide? Nathaniel Maloney sent us a beautiful song–Price Already Paid–his reaction to the ongoing tragedy in Darfur. We’ve posted the lyrics below and you can listen to the song here:www.myspace.com/nathanielmaloney
©Nathaniel Lee Maloney September 6th 2006 The Price Already Paid
Somewhere there’s another lonely soul
Ravished by poverty they can’t control
Their picture of life wasn’t painted like this
Never ending feeling of helplessness
Trying to keep faith in someone’s word
When what’s been promised hasn’t occurred
We The People choose what we want to see
And tend not to want to give anything for free
CHORUS:
The world it doesn’t turn
From money that is made
Seems like we would learn
From the price already paid
A child’s face somewhere is so hungry and cold
But instead what matters is weapons bought and sold
The government does’t work for humanity and never did
If you believe they do tell that to a war torn orphan kid.
