No Bravery
James Blunt
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
Tears drying on their face.
He has been here
Brothers lie in shallow graves
Fathers lost without a trace
A nation blind to their disgrace,
Since he's been here.
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore
Only sadness(2x)
Houses burnt beyond repair
The smell of death is in the air
A woman weeping in despair says,
He has been here
Tracer lighting up the sky
It's another families' turn to die.
A child afraid to even cry out says,
He has been here
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore
Only sadness.(2x)
There are children standing here,
Arms outstretched into the sky,
But no one asks the question why,
He has been here
Old men kneel to accept their fate
Wives and daughters cut and raped
A generation drenched in hate
Yes, he has been here
And I see no bravery,
No bravery in your eyes anymore
Only sadness (2x)
