A Cry For Justice

Lyrics by Adam King, music by The False Heroics

Walk along the crack of dawn, wait for a few hours
Look up to see a mystery between the two towers
Can you see the sky so blue surrounded as you are?
The glass rains down, so does the sound of people screaming out

How the wind cries for justice
It howls across the hills of Afghanistan
And how the children cry for solace
All alone in a distant land
And how the children pour the tears from their eyes
We get our revenge
They live off the land, homeless
We get our revenge

An army of AK-47’s march across the miles
But look into the eyes of a soldier—there’s a child
As trained they maim, they kill, they paralyze
Cut off the arm of another, look into mother’s eyes

How the wind cries for justice
It howls across Sierra Leone
And how the children cry for solace
Will they never return home
And how the children pour the tears from their eyes
We sit back and pretend
I’ll watch my sitcom, cause I don’t want to know this
We sit back and pretend

How the wind cries for justice
It howls across a distant land
And how the wind cries for solace
We won't even lift a hand
And how the children pour the tears from their eyes
We sit back and pretend
I’ll just sit here, cause I don’t want to know this
We sit back and pretend
