Dutch Blue (A Song for Srebrenica)

There's a woman walking down the road
Feels the pain, feels the cold
Looking tired at the ground
Dragging feet, her heart so old
Years ago, without a fight
Men appeared in the early dawn
Husbands, children, everyone
All the people dead or gone

Blue is the colour to stop a war
Blue was the colour we waited for
No one could expect it all
The town we knew, it had to fall
No air support, no help below
Men were standing in a row
Guns were speaking for a while
Then they were dead, without a decent trial

She will cry
For her land, for a thousand years
And she looks down
To the land with her pain and tears
And she says no
I see no reason here to die
I don't want to say goodbye
She will try
With the love
Cause there's nothing more to
Fight!

Walking through her promised land
Searching for a helping hand
Every day and every night
See the pain and see no light
In the land of cheese and buttermilk
You'll have to know about the kills
The boys you send they couldn't help
They were only bait for someone else

We will cry, for her land, for a thousand years
And we looked down, to the land with the pain and tears
