A very slow ballad opens with intimate piano chords and minimal acoustic guitar, enveloped in warmth. Sparse percussion and deep, resonant bass add gentle grounding. Swelling strings enter the chorus, amplifying emotion before fading, leaving the outro stripped-back and tender.

Lyrics

**Verse 1**
Empty streets and hollow stares,
Silent screams and stolen prayers.
No bread to break, no drop to drink,
Just the echo of despair’s cruel clink.

**Chorus**
Why must a child beg for bread?
Why must the innocent go unfed?
No flag, no name, no creed, no race—
Just hunger’s mark on every face.

**Verse 2**
Dust now chokes the gardens’ bloom,
Rivers drained, a land of doom.
Mothers clutch their young so tight,
Praying for the dawn’s first light.

**Chorus**
Why must a child beg for bread?
Why must the innocent go unfed?
No flag, no name, no creed, no race—
Just hunger’s mark on every face.

**Bridge**
War may shatter earth and stone,
But hunger gnaws the flesh and bone.
A right not gifted—owed by birth,
A plate of hope, a sip for thirst.

**Verse 3**
Tiny hands reach to the sky,
Asking why the world walks by.
Can we not hear their desperate plea?
"Feed us all—let mankind see."

**Outro**
No borders drawn where hunger reigns,
No walls can stop its endless pain.
If we are human, then we must heed—
No child should plead for their most basic need.
