In aid of peace and restoration
Calling on help from afar
Resumption of a noble deed

We've seen before
No matter how much or how often
No matter who it's for

You can take it guaranteed
They'll be back for more


It's cynical
Someone's always cap in hand
Wouldn't want you to misunderstand


No way out, of the annual fast
No way out, how long can the reasons

And excuses last

A plea for help and for salvation

Has now become demand
So once again the world combines
Provides the cash in hand

Your head appears above the water
Left alone with warnings you never heard


No way out, of the annual fast
No way out
Looking back to the time when it first came to light

An insight of what was to be
Now it appears all that toil was in vain
It's in your hands

We'll leave it up to you
Where do we go from here?
