How Long Will the World Look On?

The Western Sahara is an occupied land
Waiting for justice at last
If you witnessed the cruelty, you’d take a stand
But now 40 long years have gone past
How long will the world look on?
The torture we choose not to see
It will shame the heart of humanity
Until the Western Sahara is free
The King of Morocco would like to believe
The indigenous might disappear
But we still hear the cries from the brave refugees
And the prisoners living in fear
How long will the world look on?
The torture we choose not to see
It will shame the heart of humanity
Until the Western Sahara is free
It’s been two generations and more since the start
But history can be no excuse
The sahrawi people are peaceful at heart
But how long can they bear this abuse?
How long will the world look on?
The torture we choose not to see
It will shame the heart of humanity
Until the Western Sahara is free
