Lyrics
She sweeps the floor Of mud, of dirt; Like her heart: Well worn, full of hurt. Aisha runs in, "Mommy, mommy! Look what Sule did!" Bony fingers Sweep through her hair; The taste of blood -- Pangs of pain and fear. The Lady Dressed in White -- Away! Away! -- She comes again tonight. Mommy's ill; Where's my pills? Ignorance kills. Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away! Out of the jungle, Over the plains, The child returns To pillage and to rape. His sisters Famine -- Away! Away! -- Hate and Sadness. In the buildings, The places men meet, They fight! They shout!: "The b*** belongs to me!" In her little village, Wailing, gnashing, Aisha's eyes are red. Mommy, no! Please don't go! Where's the hope? Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away! She lies in A bed of grass, and There are flowers, White, gold tangled in her hair. Aisha sits and Waits for Mommy to get up. But only Stillness is there; Will it be the same For the children she bears? Will they take her a slave -- Away! Away! -- Beaten and raped? It's not too late; It's not our fate -- There is a way. Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away! Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away! Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away! Sub-Saharan AIDS Holiday! Postcards from the grave -- Look now, don't turn away!
