soldados enanos - hasta los dientes armados |
|
matan a hermanas y a hermanos - y solo con ocho anos |
|
no hay nadie que les ofresca calor - tampoco hay tiempo para |
|

|
pero cada dia es peor peor y peor |
|
now we want no see no bredren and sistren dem dead |
|
but down in Africa blood run redder than red |
|
civil war destruction and violence |
|
but this time the killers are dem little children |
|
there aint no faith and no conscience no more |
|
just total elimination of hope and future |
|
to many black people killing each other |
|
we have to safe humanity and culture |

|
I love my people and I love this land |
|
but there is a problem that a gwaan for too long |
|

|

|

|
dem train dem as a soldier give them brainwash and guns |
|
and force dem to kill dem own families oh lord |
|

|
we all take part in the same bloody game - it's up to us to make a change now |
