[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
And I see no bravery
No bravery in your eyes anymore
Only sadness (2x)
Only sadness
[Verse 2]
Houses burnt beyond repair
The smell of d**h is in the air
A woman weeping in despair says
He has been here
Tracer lighting up the sky
It's another families' turn to die
A child afraid to even cry out says
He has been here
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
