(eleanor mcevoy)



An act of God has struck us

An act of faith sustains us

But it seems hopeless

And I feel helpless to you

An act of man has hit us

Worse than any god

And I can't shield you

And I can't shelter youbut



If you're in need of comfort

I will do what I can

If I can't feed your body

I'll soothe it with my hands

If I can't ease your hunger

I'll give you all I have

To nourish and love

To nourish and love

To nourish and love



The country drenched in fever

The"princess alice" leaves her

But I can't send you

And I can't hope to save you

The hunger on this island's

Spread to every door

And I can't shield you

And I can't shelter youbut



Repeat chorus
