The World Should Know
 
The world should know of heartache, of diamonds in red dust Of missing limbs and phantom pains The world should know, they must The world should know of Waterloo, the terror that ensued When darkness won the hearts of men and power was pursued The world should know of children who in the night have feared Without warmth of mother’s embrace have cried abundant tears And yet the love of God has come, teaching orphans to forgive Helping them to start again, to play, to love, to live The world should know the beauty found in a child’s eyes Who chooses love and purity, refusing to despise The world should know of Wellington, the children who survived This website is dedicated to the children of Sierra Leone, West Africa.
