In the slums of Port-au-Prince

When the rain comes pouring down

The homeless people sleep on the muddy ground

And the children die so young

'Cause there's not enough to eat

When their only food is the garbage

They have found



I just can't get their faces

Out of my mind

No matter how hard I try

And I realize I must never forget

There, but for fortune, go you and I

I just couldn't believe my eyes

And I wanted to cry out loud

Can't you see there will be

A terrible price to pay

On Judgement Day



The cruise ships painted white

Are anchored in the bay

The tourists fill their plates

From the lunch buffet

And the people on the shore

Gazing up like silent ghosts

Are doomed within a life

That is worlds away



I just can't get their faces

Out of my mind

No matter how hard I try

And I realize I must never forget

There, but for fortune, go you and I

I just couldn't believe my eyes

And I wanted to cry out loud

Can't you see there will be

A terrible price to pay

On Judgement Day
