[Verse 1]

I was walking in a town

On the waterfront I saw a building

There were photographs of children

They were in a war and they killed them

I was feeling, feeling smaller, smaller than the coin in my hand
C D7
a-ha.. a-ha
C D7
a-ha.. a-ha
[Chorus]

Mourir avant 15 ans - To die before you're 15 years

I turned away to hide the tears

How could I understand

That a man can kill a man, can kill a child

a-ha.. a-ha
C D7
a-ha.. a-ha

Children playing on the riverside

I went back to my hotel and I watched the seagulls fly ...

That a man can kill a man, can kill a child

To the wide open spaces
