Dinkas When I Close My Eyes

歌詞

VERSE1: Night falls like the silence over Sudan Where children run like the blood on the sand And I can taste it like the dust that chokes this land A government sponsored slavery plan Lined up like cattle at an auction deprived Of everything that you and I have ever known All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home CHORUS: Back to the market Of endless profit Impoverished in famine, set me free A never ending cycle of slavery VERSE 2: A cowardly silence plagues our land, where children are stolen from the Dinka clan And I can taste smokescreen that chokes this land A government sponsored slavery plan Branded like cattle at an auction deprived Of everything that you and I've ever known All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home CHORUS: Back to the market Of endless profit Impoverished in famine, set me free A never ending cycle of slavery I just want to close my eyes I don't want to agonize Over people I don't know I was asleep until you woke me up And now I see thee faces Of these kids in foreign places When I close my eyes
