Make Poverty History: Tide Of White

The tide of white

The peaceful fight

Coming, ready or not

Lest Africa’s forgot

Coming to the shores

Of the Scottish moors

Knocking on the doors

Of the fortress eight

Questioning the laws

Of the Third World’s fate

From dissatisfaction

Comes a call to action

On debt and aid

And fair world trade

 

The snaking convoy

The voiceless envoy

Converging on the Meadows

Merging in the shadows

The masses flock

In patient gridlock

To start the march

With banners arched

Then the final crush

Before the rush

Circling the city

With hope, not pity

The tide of white

To make wrongs right
