Spoken Word Lyric By Michael Carey
Soldiers come down
From the mountains
Children crying
Mothers screaming shouting
Separated from the ones I love
Torn forever
From all I know of
Far from comfort
Far from hope
Too numb to dream
And nowhere to go
Hide myself beneath my skin
Conceal my humanity
Deep within
The last time I saw
Saw my mother's face
Tears were in her eyes
Tears were in her eyes
Sorrow lives in this village
Where the men have disappeared
And the children are soldiers
And the woman kive in fear
Sorrow lives in this village
I was sent into the army
I was taught to kill
I was eight years old
I was eight years old
Sorrow lives in this village
Where the men have disappeared
And the children are soldiers
And the woman kive in fear
Sorrow lives in this village
Oh God I pray
Take me away from here
Sorrow lives in this village
Someday the world will see
One day the world will know
Til then the circle turns, repeats itself
And the tears they flow...
No one can remember
A time when then there was peace
No one living can remember
A time when then there was peace
Sorrow lives in this village
Where the men have disappeared
And the children are soldiers
And the woman kive in fear
Sorrow lives in this village
Oh God I pray
Take me away from here
Sorrow lives in this village
Oh God I pray...

I met Santino when he was twelve.
He was a child soldier in Southern Sudan.
He was taught to kill when he was eight,
He bad never known peace.
There are still more than 300,000 child soldiers in the world.
Children are often the first and last victims of war.
Peace is a prerequisite to the happiness of children.
