Syrian Nightmare

Flashes from the missiles - fire in the sky
Bombardments hammer down
Howling of projectiles louder than the cries
I'm running alone

Fleeing from the soldiers - rebel groups alike
Surrounding our town
Killing the civilians - there's no place to hide
No mosque - no playground

When torture, pain & violence become daily routine
My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen

Syrian nightmare - calamity
The world is just watching in passive lethargy
Syrian nightmare - why should I pray?
The world is just watching the death toll anyway

Our so called leaders slaying us for years
Poison gas policy
Cruel interrogations, people disappear
War crimes, beastly

Many fled the country - millions like I'm told
Now I am one of them
You can call me Ahmed, I am 10 years old
Will I live again?

When torture, pain & violence become daily routine
My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen

Syrian nightmare - calamity
The world is just watching in passive lethargy
Syrian nightmare - why should I pray?
The world is just watching the death toll anyway

When torture, pain & violence become daily routine
My eyes have no more tears left - too much grief I've seen

Syrian nightmare - calamity
The world is just watching in passive lethargy
Syrian nightmare - why should I pray?
The world is just watching the death toll anyway

Syrian nightmare - calamity
The world is just watching in passive lethargy
Syrian nightmare - why should I pray?
The world is just watching the death toll anyway
