EMMANUEL JAL "Warchild"

I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives
I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives
all the people struggling down there
storms only come for a while
then after a while they'll be gone
blessed, blessed

my father was working for the government as a police man
few years later I heard he joined he join a rebel movement that was formed to fight for freedom
I didnt understand the politics behind all this cause I was only a child
after a while I saw the tension rising high between the christian and the muslim reigm
we lost our possession
my mother, my mother's mothers suffered depression
and because of this...I was forced to be a war child

I'm a war child (I'm gonna get glory glory glory glory)
I'm a war child
I believe I've survived for a reason to tell my story to touch lives (touch lives, touch lives touch lives, touch lives)
 I lost my father (mother sister) in this battle
my brothers to perished in this struggle
all my life I've been hiding in the jungle
the pain im cutting is too much to handle
whose there please to light up my candle
whose there anyone to hear my cry
here I am, pale and dry
no one to lead us, I wonder why?
no I go to hulio and I die,
I pull a move to manuana care
I watch sharers everywhere,
In now I pray thats when I gain,
when I pray to you do you maintain?
when I pray to you do you maintain?
when I pray to you do you maintain?
(warchild I'm a warchild I'm gonna get glory glory etc etc)
