Story behind the song
It started as a song, which, with the help of "Save The Children " developed into a song / video we are trying to raise monies to purchase mosquito nets, hence the donate button on the homepage, they cost very little and just one net can protect four people for up to five years, any donation small or large would be appreciated !!! As for the song, it is offered as a 320kbps free download with the option to donate ! you might say charity begins at home, all we can say to that is these children are "at home" !!! Save The Children is a registered charity Number 213890 Thank You.
Lyrics
HELPLESS DON'T FEEL SO GOOD TONIGHT ? A VICTIM OF THIS DEADLY PARASITE YOU'RE ONLY JUST A CHILD BUT YOU'LL BE GONE THIS TIME TOMORROW ! A MEMORY OF BIRTH A SHORT WHILE ON THIS LONELY BARREN EARTH A STONE TO MARK A GRAVE OF A CHILD WE COULD HAVE SAVED LAY ME DOWN -- LAY ME DOWN DAYLIGHT'S FADING -- NO MORE TIME LAY ME DOWN – OH LAY ME DOWN TO DIE HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS -- KEEP ME WARM SO MUCH THAT WE CAN DO IF ONLY WE COULD CHANGE OUR POINT OF VIEW IT ONLY TAKES ONE WORD OR MAYBE WAIT UNTIL TOMORROW ! LAY ME DOWN -- LAY ME DOWN DAYLIGHT'S FADING -- NO MORE TIME (TO FIGHT) SO LAY ME DOWN -- LAY ME DOWN TO DIE HOLD ME IN YOUR ARMS -- KEEP ME WARM (REPEAT)

Must have missed this somehow - what a fantastic piece! Everything about this is brilliant, from the production, quality melody, soulful guitars, and the whole idea behind it. Just magnificent. Your finest yet I think.

This is great music with a great purpose. All of this could be stopped in a flash or certainly greatly mitigated, Its amazing that it doesnt get the attention the world should give it.

Amazing song well-produced with great lyrics and message. Especially like the imagery of the video really gets the message across.

This is music with a purpose,a song with a soul,a reason ,the real deal When suffering touches one (or two) :) with the abilty to transfer emotion into song ,with beautiful,powerful and profound results This is how a mega song is born Truly there has to be a better way to circulate the wealth of the planet,in such a way as to eliminate this , and so many other......... disasters of humanity I was commenting on another artists page about us learning sooooo much in the last 1oo yrs and yet...in many many ways we haven't learned a thing :( You two just keep getting better and better ! Awesome !!!

That'a beautiful tune, love the spacy guitars, chorused arpeggios and floating solo. Fantastic vocals and great power at chorus. All production top notch. I live in Africa and know the reality of Malaria. Kind and noble gesture. People like you makes the difference.
