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
