IT STARTS WITH YOU
When calamity raises its evil hand
When war and destruction invade our land
When good goes undone
And lies become true
Its time for real change
There’s so much you can do
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
When good health care is a shattered dream
When promised development is yet to be seen
When poverty prowls
Like a thief in the night
And hunger bombards us
With all of its might
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
Illiteracy rate has yet to decrease
If fact should be known as a ‘common disease’
Global primary education
A hope against hope?
With babies having babies
And youths addicted to dope?
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
Promote gender equality; empow’r our women
Reduce child mortality; protect our children
Safeguard the environment
Combat all diseases
Attainable targets
The fight never ceases
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
When war and destruction invade our land
When good goes undone
And lies become true
Its time for real change
There’s so much you can do
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
When good health care is a shattered dream
When promised development is yet to be seen
When poverty prowls
Like a thief in the night
And hunger bombards us
With all of its might
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
Illiteracy rate has yet to decrease
If fact should be known as a ‘common disease’
Global primary education
A hope against hope?
With babies having babies
And youths addicted to dope?
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
Promote gender equality; empow’r our women
Reduce child mortality; protect our children
Safeguard the environment
Combat all diseases
Attainable targets
The fight never ceases
Focus on humanity; it starts with you
