I hear the sound of people who are being killed, I see the people crying for life,
I want to help the poor people.
I am big and round,
I feel the weight of sorrow on me,
I touch the feelings of the people,
I worry about the future of the people on me,
1 cry for help from God.
I am big and round,
I understand the problems of the people on me, Isay grace for all people,
I dream about my past,
I try to handle my sorrow,
I hope I won’t be destroyed.
I am big and round.
