lyrics

Oh graceful girl from a land in ruins
The desert's still waiting to be adorned
Of your tiny footsteps

The cruelty of war took you from your fields of hope
Before all your wishes could come true
The look on their faces betrayed thoughts full of dirt
His finger on yours made you tremble and freeze
The horror came from the land of the free

No parents there to protect you
The bullets reached them before they could
Never again
Will you feel the warmth of your sister's hug

The same old story of torture and slaughtering
Written by those who should keep you safe
Collateral damage, it' what they keep calling it
What did you do to deserve this fate?

Brave and strong
Is that the way they proved their worth?
By planning the assault on your little farmhouse?
Brave and strong
Is that the way they proved their worth?
By leaving you without any chance of a future?
Brave and strong
Is that the way they proved their worth?
By lacerating your dress and taking their turns

Used against your will
Another one subdued you and then another
You were just 14
How could they commit this heinous crime?

Brave and strong
Is that the way they proved their worth?
By drenching you with fuel and dropping a match
Brave and strong
Is that the way they proved their worth?
By ravaging the peace they were meant to defend?

Used against your will
You were just 14
