CRY BOSNIA
Why do I see such sorrow in the child's eye
Why do the mines still make them die
Why are they legless and use a crutch
Why doesn't the world care that much
Why can't children get a decent meal
Why can't the world see what I feel
Why do the monsters still run the show
Why can't the hatred just be let go
Why is the holocaust I've seen with my eyes
ignored by the world in blameless sighs
Why do I find many more mass graves
than cute little children find happy days
Back at home in New York State
I never worried about Bosnia's fate
I was once obsessed with vanity
now Bosnia is stealing my sanity
Strong people survive from year to year
but they don't fool me I smell their fear
Why are the schools riddled with bullet holes
Why do I care..............no one knows
Why are the hamlets and villages burned
Why are all the cars and buses overturned
Why are the harmless cows strung up and hung
I can't figure out what they have done
Why are farm animals killed and impaled
Hell, this godamn society has failed
Why is the hatred so severe
Why.....is the end so near
This is Bosnia as seen through my eyes
This is why Bosnia forever cries.
