the bullets are ripping through the crowd
the revolution is falling into parts
the starving are buried by the sand
forgotten and never before seen

have you seen newborn dying on their first day of live
have you seen children starving in a faraway land
have you seen young men crying on their first day of war
have you seen the old one dying in a silent room alone
have you seen widows crying waiting for their fallen men

they were only men who wanted to be
only want to be just like we are
they were only men who wanted to be
in a perishing mankind

have you seen atomic waste buried under mountains
have you seen forests burning feeding humans greed
have you seen dead fishes floating in a poisoned sea
have you seen peoples killing fighting for their religion
have you seen heroes dying in a quiet blaze of glory
