Lyrics

[female

vocals] (

Mmm,

yeah)

South

Africa…

how

many

more?

Every

week

another

mother

cries…

Every

week

another

family

gets

the

call…

Another

name,

another

funeral…

when

will

it

stop?

Monday

morning,

we

wake

up

to

the

news

Another

life

gone,

another

family

bruised

Mama

waiting

at

the

gate,

but

her

child

don't

come

home

Now

she's

standing

in

the

darkness,

crying

all

alone

We’

re

walking

through

the

shadows

of

a

broken

street

With

nothing

but

the

silence

where

the

souls

should

meet

Oh,

it's

heavy

on

my

heart,

I

can

barely

breathe

It's

a

season

of

sorrow

that

we

never

leave

Every

week,

another

murder

Every

week,

another

name

Another

mother

losing

sleep

Another

family

feeling

pain

South

Africa,

hear

our

cry

We

don't

wanna

see

our

people

die

Yeah,

baby,

it's

too

much

to

bear

Watching

all

the

love

just

disappear

Tuesday

comes,

another

name

on

the

screen

Another

young

dream

buried

before

it

could

be

seen

We

say, “

Rest

in

peace,”

then

we

carry

on

somehow

But

tell

me,

how

many

graves

must

we

count

now?

The

candle

flickers

out

in

the

middle

of

the

night

I'm

searching

for

a

reason,

searching

for

the

light

But

the

headlines

repeat

what

we

already

know

And

the

river

of

our

tears

just

continues

to

flow

We

are

tired

of

the

sirens

Tired

of

the

tears

Tired

of

losing

people

We've

loved

for

so

many

years (

I

need

you,

I

need

you)

Every

week,

another

murder

Every

week,

another

name

Another

mother

losing

sleep

Another

family

feeling

pain

South

Africa,

hear

our

cry

We

don't

wanna

see

our

people

die

Yeah,

baby,

it's

too

much

to

bear

Watching

all

the

love

just

disappear

Can

we

heal

the

divide?

Can

we

open

our

eyes?

Before

there's

nobody

left

to

realize?

It’

s

a

cycle

of

heartbreak,

a

cycle

of

ghosts

We’

re

losing

the

ones

that

we

needed

the

most (

Come

here,

let

me

hold

you)

So

we

light

a

candle

for

the

ones

we

miss

Praying

for

a

future

that's

better

than

this

Let

the

silence

be

the

space

where

the

healing

begins

Let

us

wash

away

the

stain

of

these

recurring

sins

No

more

funerals,

no

more

empty

chairs

Let

the

love

in

our

hearts

be

the

answered

prayers

Every

week,

another

murder

Every

week,

another

name

Another

mother

losing

sleep

Another

family

feeling

pain

South

Africa,

hear

our

cry

We

don't

wanna

see

our

people

die

Yeah,

baby,

it's

too

much

to

bear

Watching

all

the

love

just

disappear

Every

week,

another

name

It’

s

too

much

pain,

oh

South

Africa,

when

will

it

stop? (

Mmm,

yeah,

let

the

healing

start)

Just

peace…

no

more

tears.
