lyrics

Fifteen

We heard shouting in the night
They called his name out we saw their lights
When they came in the young ones cried
When they took him felt like I’d died

I was screaming he didn’t fight
Thought I was dreaming it can’t be right
I shook a soldier and asked him why
But he said nothing and walked on by

He had a blindfold they tied his hands
Then they threw him inside a van
I saw their faces they were so young
Little boy soldiers took my son

He said they beat him, he was in pain
Interrogated time and again
With no confession they took his clothes
And then they left him freezing cold

He had no lawyer he made no call
Put in a prison that broke the law
In forced detention for forty days
And yet his sentence is still not paid

From the watchtower they aim their guns
At the checkpoints they have their fun
They take our children they steal their dreams
Haunts me forever he was fifteen
