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.
