1. My son and I - we have no prospects
My son and I are sure to die soon
Unless things change and it starts to rain
And crops grow overnight – It’s not right
It’s hopeless and I can’t cope.
Chorus:
Give us a break - lives are at stake
Give us a break from this heartache
Send us a Saviour, Lord, send us support
Send us a friend. Send us a friend.
2. My son and I – we have been rescued
My son and I – but life isn’t fair
My boy’s not well, a mother can tell
I doubt he’ll last the night – it’s not right
It’s hopeless and I can’t cope.
(Repeat Chorus)
3. My son and I – have tasted God’s goodness
My son and I have truly been blessed
The friend who came plays a waiting game
But he makes our burdens lighter
And our future is brighter
I’ve hope now, I can cope now
And when I’m down, I pray
(Repeat Chorus)
