Human Shields

So much violence in our name Our life, a silence masked in shame Children running in the streets Soldier boots are on their feet Mothers bare the burdens of our defeats Fathers are on their knees, praying for mercy So much violence in our name Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield So much violence in our name Our life, a silence masked in shame No more No more No more Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield Holding me like your shield No more, violence in our name No more, violence in our name No more No more No more
