One morning when Herman gets up He grabs for his huge coffeecup And he pours a red coffee blend So rich, so full of affluence Somewhere in Africa There’s a farm and a working man He’s afraid ’cause it’s time to pay And his son needs medicine and food today How long will it take ’till you see That you’re drinking my stressed coffee? There is one thing I know for sure It is not the farmer’s anymore Next door to the needing man There lives Max and his helping hand And he sees what the farmer goes through And he knows that Herman should have less too When times gets hard to feel The elephant gets them better deals And we must pay a little more To help the ones outside the door
