DRC Need You

Displaced Congolese kids having a meal at a UNHCR Refugee Camp

Please Assist

Like Breonna was sleeping

When the cops came creeping,

So it came to pass in the DRC,

All was silent and still

When Nyiragongo crept on the scene,

Wasting lives, slaying animals,

Razing farms, spewing lava

Sending people fleeing over

The border into Rwanda.

When a volcano erupts,

Men pay a deadly cost

And it's only human

To lend a helping hand

To show a little kindness

To a thousand displaced Congolese

Journeying back from Rwanda

And cushion the thunder

Putting the people under

And their hearts will be stronger

And their days grow longer

And all their memories fonder.

Share the wonders of love,

Knead your attitude

Hello, world

The DRC needs you.
