You harnessed the magnitude

Of a earthquake that shook

The soul of your nation

To its living foundations,

Multiplied it on the richter scale

And shocked the world.

With open arms and great grace

You wrapped safety 'round the displaced

Thru the warmth

Of your embrace.

You rocked their world

And made game

Of beating the virus.

They were refugees

Who've had their share of filigrees

On a 360 degrees

Of tortured rejection.

But you got them vaccinated

From the coronavirus,

Nepal got refugees vaccinated!

A people of no nation.

I've heard it said on occasion;

Love is a virus.

Now you're making us

Desirous

Coveting your space.

You made your case

Now refugees exhale

In the land of exile

Cause Nepal excelled

In service to mankind.

Nepal has got the virus.

Uh uh not that virus.

The real virus,

The greatest force in the world.

That's love

The most powerful infection,

Nepal got unconditional love.

7.9 TLC

In life, there’s bound to be some pain;

At some point, you're bound to get some measure of hate.

Nature will seldom holla, “I’m turning up the heat in this place,”

Wake up, time's too short to spend mopping around in a daze.

Sprinkle a dash of sunshine on this rubble.

Spit a message of prophecy and refrain from your grumble.

Make the connect; from Africa to the uttermost of Australasia;

Let America arise and do all it can.

Feel the need for change bulldoze the way out for Nepal.

Reach out and unpaint this ghastly picture if you dare;

Let's rock their world with a 7.9 magnitude tender lovin’ care.

Depose doubt and despair with desperate deeds of kindness,

Fight nature's fury with fiery faith flattering furious and fearless.

Bind passion to compassion position stormclouds of hope on this wilderness.

Cause it's impossible to share with an open heart and come up less.

Sprinkle a dash of sunshine on this rubble.

Spit a message of prophecy and refrain from your grumble.

Make the connect; from Africa to the uttermost of Australasia;

Let America arise and do all it can.

Feel the need for change bulldoze the way out for Nepal.

Reach out and unpaint this ghastly picture if you dare;

Let's rock their world with a 7.9 magnitude tender lovin’ care.
