martyn joseph - five sisters lyrics

[verse 1]
this is not the place for words of vengeance
this is not the place for a battle cry
this is no rally, this will be the funeral
of five sisters’ lives

[verse 2]
we walk and we breathe but we are not animals
but you treat us though we are
i never fired a rocket, sir, at anyone
but you may have pushed me too far

[chorus]
and every day i watch them growing
and in the night i watch them breathe
but it only takes a second, sir
and five sisters gonе
five sisters gone

[verse 3]
thе propaganda of all the leaders
who make their speeches, heads held high
i want them standing by this graveside
where five sisters lie

[chorus]
and every day i watch them growing
and in the night i watch them breathe
but it only takes just one second, sir
and five sisters gone
five sisters gone
[bridge]
take away a man’s water
and you build upon his land
you build a mighty wall up around him
what’s so hard to understand?
you make his children walk in squalor
with only night stars for a view
and the rage inside that helplessness
someday comes back at you

[verse 1]
but this is not the place for any words of vengeance
this is not the place for the battle cry
this is no rally, this will be the funeral
of five sisters’ lives

[chorus]
and every day i watch them growing
and in the night i watch them breathe
but it only takes just one second, sir
five sisters
and every day i watch them growing
and in the night i watch them breathe
but it only took just one second, sir
and five sisters gone
five sisters gone
five sisters gone
[verse 4]
one day i’ll buy myself a rocket
but i will aim it towards the sky
and i’ll celebrate in the light of a thousand colours
some peace and justice in our time
some peace and justice in our time
for five sisters
it’ll be too late for my five daughters
