I can hear the scream of despair It's shooting through my body I can't speak or feel or see I just can't believe it Torture's laughter echoes through the land The weeping children cannot understand So much blood So much pain Too much d**h No hope, no help, no end The shadows of fear eclipse the land Deprived of liberty They will never laugh again The mothers tears The fathers sorrow The weeping children cannot understand Is this really our civilized world Where love and reason stand as sacred words If that's the way it is, then this world is no place for me
