My friend Patrick Poulou did this backing, and when I heard it, this tune appeared in my head.
Stan loves music, is published (EMI/Capitol), and has experience performing on radio and TV when it was live in the good old days. These days he's just writing
Songwriter of pop, country, inspirational songs. I like to write. I travel a lot to Asia...so my music may have an Asian influence.
Story behind the song
Lots of people don't have a meal a day while others waste their food without thinking of the hungry mouths!

Give A Little Bit
© June 28, 2011 Stan Loh
Verse 1
Give a little bit of your wealth,
Won’t hurt you or your health,
The hungry millions need your care,
Like clothing and some coins to spare,
You’ll be feeling good in giving,
Making lives worth living,
You don’t need eclairs and chocolate,
Or champagne to demonstrate,
That you’re wealthy, have lots of money,
You can throw …
Verse 2
Pray a little bit for the sun,
Send those dark clouds on the run,
Our world is slowly breaking up,
Empty bowls and empty cups,
Hungry mouths are starving,
Thirsty lips are cracking,
While the rich are wasting valuable food,
They care not why they do no good,
They only care ‘bout cars and boats,
And getting votes!
Bridge
Sahara in the sun,
Growing fast in Sudan,
Poverty, HIV, suffering, can’t you see,
Enemy number one,
Selfishness will overrun children dying! Dying! Dying!
Repeat Verse 2
Wow this is good... really good!
