There are children
standing here
arms outstretched
into the sky
Tears drying
on their face
he has been here
Brothers lie in
shallow graves
fathers lost
without a trace
A nation blind
to their disgrace
since he's been here
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
Only sadness
Houses burnt
beyond repair
The smell of death
is in the air
A woman
weeping in despair says
"He has been here"
Tracer lighting
up the sky
It's another family's
turn to die
A child afraid
to even cry out says
"He has been here"
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
There are children
standing here
arms outstretched
into the sky
But no-one
asks the question why
he has been here?
Old men kneel
to accept their fate
wives and daughters
cut and raped
A generation
drenched in hate says
"He has been here"
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
And I see
no bravery
No bravery
in your eyes
anymore
only sadness
Only sadness
