In response to Mia Farrow's hunger strike to raise awareness of the urgent need for immediate help in Darfur after aid workers have been expelled.
Don’t forget the crying only hides
The hunger that’s inside

If you watched your daughter
get shriveled up with with fear
If you watched your young son
cry out for just one meal
How would you feel?

We’d all like to think that they can handle it
But they are just children
Would yours be up to it?
How would you feel?
How would you feel…

Don’t forget the crying only hides
The hunger that’s inside
Don’t forget the crying only hides
The hunger that’s inside

Another year passes
And still the people cry
Darfur is your chance
To act & end the lie
We all must deal

They stopped getting water
They stopped getting food
There is no more time
Time ran out—who’s the fool?
We’ve got to deal now
We’ve got to deal now

Don’t forget the crying only hides
The hunger that’s inside
Don’t forget the crying only hides
The hunger that’s inside
Don’t forget
Don’t forget
Darfur
