In a land once dreaming of peace to arise

Now silence screams loud, a fierce demise

The flowers of fields turn into thorns

Wingless children, with paths forlorn

Why must your war make the young eyes cry

That barely yet see the world go by?

These lives that sparkle must never fall

For those who can’t fight, we must care for all

The skies shouldn’t carry storms to descend

Yet hold the cries that no heart can mend

Stars hide pain on the edge of night

As smoke veils the source of the guiding light

Why must your war make the young eyes cry

That barely yet see the world go by?

These lives that sparkle must never fall

For those who can’t fight, we must care for all

Silent toys in the empty fields stay

Dreams are lost where shadows play

Each smile unbirthed, a question untold

Left unanswered in the heavens’ hold

Why must your war make the young eyes cry

That barely yet see the world go by?

These lives that sparkle must never fall

For those who can’t fight, we must care for all

While reason’s entangled with power’s might

Who bears the cost of this endless fight?

Childhood erased on pages torn

From life’s great book, where hope is worn

And if in the mirror of time you’d see

That war’s the shadow that won’t let us be

Could you release the anger inside

And raise the flags of peace with pride?
