There is a hunger, a longing for bread
And so comes the call for the poor to be fed
More hungry by far are a billion and more
Who wait for the Bread of the Word of the Lord
Chorus:
So many books, so little time, so many hunger, so many blind
Starving for words, they must wait in the night
To open a Bible and move towards the Light
There'll come a time, the prophets would say
When the joy of mankind will be withered away
A want not for water, but a hunger for more
A famine for hearing the Word of the Lord
...To open a Bible and move towards the Light,
The Word won't go out, except it return
Full, over flowing and so we must learn
[ [ [ [

[ [ [ [

To open a Bible and move towards the Light
