A Line In The Sand |
| How to stop the murdering? |
| By now we should have learned — |
| If we don’t then we’re a sham |
| Bad overwhelms the good |
| Bad overwhelms the good |
| Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
| What I’ve seen — |
| Yes, it’s changed how |
| I see humankind — |
| I used to think progress was made |
| We could get something right |
| We could get something right |
| Enough is enough |
| A line in the sand |
| Seven or eight thousand people |
| Killed by hand |
| They stepped off the edge |
| They did not step back |
| If we have not learnt |
| By now |
| Then we’re a sham |
| When we first got to the camp |
| Our supplies were not enough |
| I saw a displaced family |
| Eating a cold horse’s hoof |
| Oh a cold horse’s hoof |
| Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
| We sent up tents |
| Brought in water |
| Air drops were dispersed |
| I saw people kill each other |
| Just to get there first |
| Oh just to get there first |
| Enough is enough |
| A line in the sand |
| Seven or eight thousand people |
| Killed by hand |
| They stepped off the edge |
| They did not step back |
| If we have not learnt |
| By now |
| Then we’re a sham |
| What we did? |
| Why we did? |
| I make no excuse — |
| We got things wrong |
| But I believe |
| We also did some good |
| What we did? |
| Why we did? |
| I make no excuse — |
| I believe we have a future |
| To do something good |
| Ooh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |
