She's only twelve and sells for thirty dollars
And that man is old enough to be her father
He holds her down while darkness takes her over
And he steals her soul
On a concrete floor she lays her head
She doesn't dream 'cause she's already dead
While the kings and queens in their feather beds sleep so soundly
All the world's a hole and I am falling
Too deaf to hear her calling
I wish that I could set her free but I'm just another man
There's nothing I can do
He's only five; A child and a soldier
They will make him kill his people when he's older
And late at night he calls out for his mother
But he took her life
He's pretending to be brave instead
But his family's already dead
I cover up my ears and I turn my head
While he screams so loudly
My heart is open but my hands are hiding
Afraid I'll feel you dying
I wish that I could touch your soul but I'm just another man
There's nothing I can do
Father, hear our broken cries from a world so fallen!
Help us see that in one Man our hope will never die
And His people call Him Savior Jesus, Love Abounding
Give me strength to do all that I can
I am not just another man
