(Eleanor McEvoy)

An act of God has struck us
An act of faith sustains us
But it seems hopeless
And I feel helpless to you
An act of man has hit us
Worse than any God
And I can¡¯t shield you
And I can¡¯t shelter you,but

If you¡¯re in need of comfort
I will do what I can
If I can¡¯t feed your body
I¡¯ll soothe it with my hands
If I can¡¯t ease your hunger
I¡¯ll give you all I have
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
To nourish and love
The country drenched in fever
The";Princess Alice"; leaves her
But I can¡¯t send you
And I can¡¯t hope to save you
The hunger on this Island¡¯s
Spread to every door
And I can¡¯t shield you
And I can¡¯t shelter you,but

Repeat CHORUS
