They Dance Alone Richie Havens

Why are these women here dancing on their own?
Can't you see the sadness in their eyes?
Why are these soldiers here, faces fixed like stone?
I can't see what it is that they despise

They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Whose anguish goes unsaid
Dancing with their fathers
Dancing with their sons
Thеy're dancing with their husbands
They dancе alone
They dance alone

It's the only form of protest they are allowed
See their silent faces, they scream so loud
If they were to speak these words
They'd go missing too
Another woman on the torture table
What else can she do

They're dancing with the missing
They're dancing with the dead
They dance with the invisible ones
Whose anguish goes unsaid
Dancing with their fathers
They're dancing with their sons
Dancing with their husbands
They dance alone
They dance alone
