A song formed around Lever Brothers (Soap Makers) , who created the "model" Port Sunlight Village but owned factories in what was then the Belgian Congo at "Leverville". See link below -

lyrics

So from a single thread
The dancing flickers gave us light
Dirty hands held out in prayer
Pray morning comes after night

Hanging by a single thread
Searching for the daily bread
Don't put heaven in our heads
Give us time to live instead

We pay the price of soap
Never to come clean
We pay the price of hope
Never time to dream
