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 death    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
