Bosnia (Early Mix) Lyrics

I would like to state my vision
Life was so unfair
We live in our secure surroundings
And people die out there

Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, change my mind
And we all call out in despair
All the love we need isn't there
And we all sing songs in our rooms
Sarajevo erects another tomb

Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind
Sarajevo, Sarajevo, Sarajevo
Bosnia was so unkind

Sure, things would change
If we really wanted them to
No fear for children anymore
Thеre are babies in thеir beds
Terror in their heads
For the love of life

When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?
When do the saints go marching in?

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
