Lyrics
Skinny Boy
Skinny little boy shuffles down the road
Rifle on his back, devil on his soul
How does he do it, carry such a load
Look all around, it?s out of control
Sing the song and sing it softly
How we held our heads, held ?em so high
Tell our tale but tell it truly
Fought for freedom, fought and died
Been livin? and dyin? in south Sudan
All we ask is that you try to understand
We?re lovin? but leavin? this wasted land
And prayin? for the freedom of our fellow man
Pray for peace, but work for justice
All of us equal, under the law
Rescue us, from the darkness
We?re gatherin? here, assembled in awe
