Set An Extra Plate
You can not cure World Hunger
So, set your goals to small
But you can help out one child
Don't try to feed them all
Little steps or little bites
Can cure a childs pain
From not eating dalily
Or knowing when they'll eat again
Don't take on the whole problem
Just one mouth at a time
Then you'll start a revolution
And you'll start to feeling fine
Just add an extra setting
When you sit down to your meal
Then put a can of food aside
It makes the problem real
Just one a day will do it
Cure a child of his pain
And tomorrow night at dinner
You can do it all again
Just set an extra setting
No chair, no fork or knife
Then put a box or can aside
And help to feed a life
It's easy once you try it
In a short time you'll have filled
A box or two of canned goods
Someones hunger you have killed
Just set an extra setting
When you sit down next to eat
Then put a box or can aside
It'll make you feel so neat
At week's end take your savings
To the food bank filled with pride
You didn't even notice
And your smile's ten feet wide
Just set an extra setting
At the table, just for one
Then before you sit for dinner
Pack the can up....only one
Just think....a revolution
Started by a single meal
It's so easy to get started
And the end results are real
There's children going hungry
Here at home and in our schools
We can feed the world completely
If we only use the tools
Imagine stopping hunger
In your lifetime, it'd be great
And to start it is so easy
Just set that extra plate
One tin, a box or pasta
Nothing hard about this plan
Just set an extra setting
And donate one small can
A child going hungry
There's no reason anymore
There is enough food out there
To feed the world times four
The food bank's overloaded
More requests come in each year
So start a revolution
It's a simple, cheap, idea
Next time you sit for dinner
Just set one extraΒ Β plate
Then take a tin or box of food
And simply....please DONATE !!!
.
Just an idea about food banks.
