Judgement Day
In the slums of Port-au-Prince
When the rain comes pouring down
The homeless people sleep on the muddy ground
And the children die so young
'Cause there's not enough to eat
When their only food is the garbage
They have found
I just can't get their faces
Out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
And I realize I must never forget
There, but for fortune, go you and I
I just couldn't believe my eyes
And I wanted to cry out loud
Can't you see there will be
A terrible price to pay
On Judgement Day
The cruise ships painted white
Are anchored in the bay
The tourists fill their plates
From the lunch buffet
And the people on the shore
Gazing up like silent ghosts
Are doomed within a life
That is worlds away
I just can't get their faces
Out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
And I realize I must never forget
There, but for fortune, go you and I
I just couldn't believe my eyes
And I wanted to cry out loud
Can't you see there will be
A terrible price to pay
On Judgement Day
When the rain comes pouring down
The homeless people sleep on the muddy ground
And the children die so young
'Cause there's not enough to eat
When their only food is the garbage
They have found
I just can't get their faces
Out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
And I realize I must never forget
There, but for fortune, go you and I
I just couldn't believe my eyes
And I wanted to cry out loud
Can't you see there will be
A terrible price to pay
On Judgement Day
The cruise ships painted white
Are anchored in the bay
The tourists fill their plates
From the lunch buffet
And the people on the shore
Gazing up like silent ghosts
Are doomed within a life
That is worlds away
I just can't get their faces
Out of my mind
No matter how hard I try
And I realize I must never forget
There, but for fortune, go you and I
I just couldn't believe my eyes
And I wanted to cry out loud
Can't you see there will be
A terrible price to pay
On Judgement Day
