Grammar
I have a grammar question
lttle child dry your crying eyes
how can i explain the fear you feel inside
cause you were born into this evil world
where man is killing man and no one know just why
what have we become just look what we have done
all the we destroyed you must build again
This is a song called 'When The Children Cry' and I don't understand the sentence in bold for grammar. I think 'what have we become' is not connected with '~just why' and it is a question form. Did I get it right? And 'just look what we have done' means 'understand what we have done'? I'm so confused.
Thank you.
