I'm here for other children

I'm here because I care

I'm here because children everywhere are suffering

And because 40.000 people die each day from hunger

I’m here because those people are mostly children

We have got to understand that the poor are all around us and we’re ignoring them

We have got to understand that these days are preventable

We have got to understand that people in third world countries

Think and care and smile and cry just like us

We have got to understand that they are us and we are them

My dream is to stop hunger by the year 2000

My dream is to give the poor a chance

My dream is to save the 40.000 people who die each day

My dream can and will come true

If we all look into the future and see the light that shines there

Rachel Corrie died at the age of 23.
