Middle eastern woman cannot understand
Why her baby lives in a decimated land
Nowhere to play and nowhere to run
Fear and tanks in the scorching sun
Why not let a mother rule the land
Then get another to lend her a hand
'Cos mums don't fight or cause the wars
They don't need barriers when they're opening doors
African woman cannot understand
Why her baby starves in the desert sands
Skin so parched and sunken eyes
No food to eat and the wells run dry
Columbian woman cannot understand
Why her 5year old has a gun in his hand
Drug lord's family has plenty to eat
But her little boy has no shoes on his feet
Chinese woman cannot understand
Only one child in the family plan
Pity for first female born
The boy has future but the girl has none
Women everywhere cannot understand
Let's all reach out with a helping hand
Hunger, poverty, drugs and war
We don't want out children to die anymore
