Hear the cry of a little child
His mother drowned when they fled
He sleeps on snow in winter cold;
Just another number on the figures -
Feel the turbulent pain of a young girl
Ten soldiers made of her their prey
She bears the wounds of war techniques;
Just one of the many silenced victims -
Witness poverty and disease strike a country
Its people know not of education
Its pregnant women die with child;
Just another of the stories in developing countries
Meanwhile, vote world leaders
Who close your borders to keep you safe
While bombing others to make you great;
Support your troops being sent abroad
And your leaders dictating elsewhere
Leave as inheritance to your children
Safe cities, education and a settled future
That you and yours have acquired through murder;
Sign your will with the blood of victims
