lyrics

Little more than a meter tall
you drive your truck and everybody loves you.
You've found a lovely girl
between your village and the city.
You want to be an adult
and the war is a game for the olders,
but in Niger it's fought amongst the children.
It's fought amongst the:

Sozaboy
The name the olders gave you.
The name that makes you proud.

But on the frontline there's only dust
and nobody's in your village anymore
but when you find your people
they look at you as a ghost,
and nobody wants to live with a ghost.
Especially when he's not dead.
