Lyrics

SOMALIA
By Noreen Inglesi

VERSE 1
How many children build dreams against the wind
Before the eyes of time pass by?
How many young hearts will have to shatter again
As the eyes of time pass by?

REFRAIN
Cool mist is rising
On the horizon
Setting on the hill
Red skies are falling
Soon they?ll be calling
Somalia
Just as the darkness comes
We?ll be making our way to Somalia
Cool mist is a?rising
Sun creeping over the blue hill
As another spirit cries in Somalia

VERSE 2
How many people
Will sleep in hunger
Before the
How many souls will never shine
Before the winds of change will come?
How

REFRAIN
Cool mist is rising
On the horizon
Setting on the hill
Red skies are falling
Soon they?ll be calling
Somalia
Just as the darkness comes
We?ll be making our way to Somalia
Cool mist is a?rising
Sun creeping over the blue hill
As another spirit cries in Somalia
