Verse 1
I stepped on to the crumbling sidewalk
Of a nation that claims to be
A place of truth and freedom,
A land of opportunity.
"We trust in God," this nation proclaims,
But trust died years ago,
And God is among the list of names
Of people you don't know.

Chorus 1
There is a famine for love sweepin' this nation.
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There's a famine for hope that's killin' my generation.
There's a famine killin' all mankind.

Verse 2
There's an echoing distant memory
Of love that died in the Aquarian Age.
Now the air is thick with hatred;
Fear and anger are turned into rage.
My eyes are stinging with the tears that I weep
For the death of souls and lives
Some buried alive from sadness,
Others perish from guns and knives.

[Repeat Chorus 1]

Verse 3
Oh, won't you let me get you a Doctor,
Who can save your dying spirit.
He's been calling your name for a long time,
Have you listened? Can you hear it?
A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief,
It was for you He died.
And His Word of life can heal your soul
And fill that emptiness inside.

Chorus 2
There's a famine for love sweepin' this nation.
There's a famine for peace of mind.
There is a famine for hope that's killin' my generation.
There's a famine killin' all mankind.

[Repeat Chorus 2]
