Look at that girl and just imagine it's like
To live your life in desert land
Where it's so damned heart to survive
No taps for clean water, the well's some miles away
No school or education, not even toys for her to play
Eleven years old, if this is all life has in store
We know it's such a far cry from what we all would settle for
Look at the moom, look at the stars
The sky's still the same, wherever we are
We don't have a choice, we've no right at all
Some have bad luck, just don't let them fall
Look at our boy and take a good look at his life
He always gets all that he wantS, a look of greed is in his eyes
A safe place to sleep and all the comforts of his home
His parents Will take care, he knows he won't be left alone
With so many schools, education's close at hand
But he Just takes it all for granted
It's time we made him understand
Look at the moom, look at the stars
The sky's still the same, wherever we are
We don't have a choice, we've no right at all
Some have bad luck, just don't let them fall
When she turns sixteen all she can do is dream of gold
She's still a captive of her fate
At least that's what she has been told
Our boy's doing fine, he plans his life and his career
It's what she would have done if only she'd been born out here
If we were to choose all the places of our births
Our lives would be so different, we'd change the face of the earth
Look at the moom, look at the stars
The sky's still the same, wherever we are
We don't have a choice, we've no right at all
Some have bad luck, just don't let them fall
