Reach

Reach

In the Algerina desert came a white priest

With a good sense of humor, he knew how to teach

Now his head rests on a white silky sheet

On a bed of roses, his body out of reach

Joshua was the son of a great man

He did his duty, tried to secure the land

Looked for weapons, which he did not find

Had to cross the border to escape his hometown

Call it justice if it makes it alright

Call me a liar if you don’t let me down

They picked her up at the station that night

When she got in the car, she felt troubles at sight

Raped by two men with a knife in her pocket

When they finally saw it, they said « you must have liked it »

R : Call it justice…

David saw the girl on a dark dusty street

Trying hard to please him with her young beaten cheeks

Out of nowhere he asked for her age

Five years later, the young girl died of age

R : Call it justice…
