Nine years old in a Pokemon fronted t-shirt
All he wanted was a seat with the kids on the yellow bus
The whispers in the corridors wouldn’t go away
A logical conclusion made easy for him to say
He told the truth
Lost on a lonely road
Walking the quiet lane to save his mothers pain
Cruelly a child provoked
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings never named
Brave Jamel
Meanwhile an old man arrives on a rainy Ireland
Says sorry for the wrongs of his brothers in the past
Answers to this “problem” sought, so he paused a while
Turning to his book he claims could have “cured” this child
It’s you who’s sick
Lost on a lonely road
Trapped in a dead end street to save his mothers pain
Cruelly a child provoked
Out of the mouths of babes and sucklings never named
Brave Jamel
Brave Jamel
A child provoked so cruelly for his “sins”
Brave Jamel
From the mouths of babes and sucklings
From the mouths of babes and sucklings
It’s you who needs help
It’s you who needs help
