    Who will cry for the African child?
    Who while in the womb felt the high
    sun's intensity,
    Who while in the womb was carried
    to the forest to search for food,
    Who felt the weight of the heavy
    wood their mother carried home.

    Who will cry for the African child?
    Who cried so much having been
    born in Africa,
    Who happens to be born hundreds
    of miles from the hospital,
    Who did not even have all the
    necessary vaccines.

    Who will cry for the African child?
    Who at five had the last hug from
    their own parent,
    Who did not even have a single toy to
    play with,
    Who cannot be proud of no injury at
    five?
