The song questions what a holy people have done to help various groups in need, including the poor, hungry, homeless, lonely, stranger, broken, grieving, lost, prisoner, addict, voiceless, sick, fragile, children, unborn, old, and dying. It suggests establishing mechanisms to hold mining companies accountable for their overseas actions and encourages signing a postcard to the Prime Minister about this.
