I’ve always been a sucker for two things; children’s choirs and African music. Give me a song from an African children’s choir and well…
I particularly like the lyrics to this song because they are so universally applicable. Enjoy.

Here are the original lyrics for this song written by Hillary Weeks:
Somebody’s down to their last dime Somebody’s running out of time Not too far from here Somebody’s got nowhere else to go Somebody needs a little hope Not too far from here And I may not know their name But I’m praying just the same That You’ll use me Lord to wipe away a tear Cause somebody’s crying Not too far from here
Somebody’s troubled and confused Somebody’s got nothing left to lose Not too far from here Somebody’s forgotten how to trust Somebody’s dying for love Not too far from here It may be a stranger’s face But I’m praying for Your grace To move in me and take away the fear Cause somebody’s hurting Not too far from here
Help me Lord not to turn away from pain Help me not to rest while those around me weep Give me Your strength and compassion When somebody finds the road of life too steep
Somebody’s troubled and confused Somebody’s got nothing left to lose Not too far from here Somebody’s forgotten how to trust And somebody’s dying for love Not too far from here Now I’m letting down my guard And I’m opening my heart Help me speak Your love to every needful ear Someone is waiting not too far from here Someone is waiting not too far from here
