Don't kill our boys. Our sons they matter What will become of them? Our lives matter They'll grow to be strong and fight on our enemies But if they're gone, how will we survive the war Don't kill our boys. Don't kill our boys You were a prayer from God, I wanted a boy And oh how happy I was, my heart filled with joy When you entered the world with your beautiful brown eyes I lift my head to the heavens, my hands to the sky When you saw your mother, you saw me Aand to know you'll be dead as they fear the next king Don't kill our boys Don't kill our boys You see the blood stream down the street A genocide was close to me Our boys, our sons, they'll die because you're afraid Afraid, of our boys, of our sons I'll take you down by the river I can't imagine my son being killed by the hands of another man Who knows where the water will take you I'll watch my brother for my mother, down the river Don't throw our children in the Nile. You bastards are killing my child Oh dear God on high, we ask you to draw nigh And answer our prayers, and guide him down the stream And keep him safe. Answer our prayer Give me your sons. You know the decree to kill your boy I'll kill your boy. Give me your son
