James Blunt — No Bravery

[Verse 1] There are children standing here Arms outstretched into the sky Tears drying on their face He has been here Brothers lie in shallow graves Fathers lost without a trace A nation blind to their disgrace Since he's been here [Chorus] And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness Only sadness [Verse 2] Houses burnt beyond repair The smell of death is in the air A woman weeping in despair says He has been here Tracers lighting up the sky It's another families' turn to die A child afraid to even cry out says He has been here [Chorus] And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes anymore Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in you eyes anymore Only sadness Only sadness [Bridge] There are children standing here Arms outstretched into the sky But no one asks the question why He has been here Old men kneel to accept their fate Wives and daughters cut and raped A generation drenched in hate Says, he has been here [Chorus] And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes any more Only sadness And I see no bravery No bravery in your eyes any more Only sadness Only sadness
