Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe 

Minapendawe has nothing to eat 
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet 
Still she keeps going on drying out under the burning sun 

Searching food to survive to keep her children alive 
Will she find it in time 
Or will the desert just take another life away 
Will she get through the day 
Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win 
Only the night and then the struggle again 
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing her life 

Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe Minapendawe 

Minapendawe has nothing to eat 
Minapendawe hardly stands on her feet 
She remembers the time 
Fruit was juicy 'cause nature was kind 

When they had to run away life got harder every day 
Bones now bleach in the sun 
So many people she loved and so much hope that is gone 
But she must go on 

Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win 
Only the night and then the struggle again 
Is there a way to maybe give her a little thing 
Oh, does she know how to fight when there is nothing to win 
Only the night and then the struggle again 
Is there a way someone can help today 
And maybe change just a little thing 
Her life
