Sun shined bright no one knew
Sea and sky ever so blue
Many people enjoying the beach
All too soon everything was out of reach

Now many people need aid
Homeless, alone and so afraid
Looking for lost loved ones
Mothers and Fathers, daughters and sons

Lift up our spirit in prayer
Send clothing, whatever you can share
Tsunami earthquake ravaged lives
Heartbreak for those who survived

Not knowing where to sleep
They don't even have anything to eat
Please do what you can
Everything is in demand

Help is worldwide, people understand
Governments lend a helping hand
A worldwide effort is under way
While millions of people pray
