Dinkas When I Close My Eyes Lyrics

Night falls like the silence over Sudan Where children run like the blood on the sand And I can taste it like the dust that chokes this land A government sponsored slavery plan Lined up like cattle at an auction deprived Of everything that you and I have ever known All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home Back to the market Of endless profit Impoverished in famine, set me free A never ending cycle of slavery A cowardly silence plagues our land, where children are stolen from the Dinka clan And I can taste smokescreen that chokes this land A government sponsored slavery plan Branded like cattle at an auction deprived Of everything that you and I've ever known All alone, wearing only the dreams of their far away home I just want to close my eyes I don't want to agonize Over people I don't know I was asleep until you woke me up And now I see thee faces Of these kids in foreign places When I close my eyes
