The song of an Iraqi child







رؤى الامين


Kill all the animals , cut off the wood


Why staying in a world that no longer good


Standing in the rain watching people who pass


Leaving their marks on Asphalt and grass


There I stood searching for a face


I waited and stared but still no trace


Who am I looking for over here and there?


Is it a world that fade in the darkness of despair? And left non but hopelessness and fear


Or is it me who I'm looking for?


A soul who left earth and went up to sore


Leaving the dark world flying to the sky


Cause there isn't any tears , no why would we cry?


We don't need the sword we don't need the pain


All we need is a beautiful view and a brush to paint


That's the world we all dream and hope


But we come back and through them all in a dump


though we know that no matter how we tried


There'll be a strong long robe that keep us tied


To the useless traditions that should be forgotten


But that's how we live and that's what's written


Should I be a revel? No, I don't dear


Live like a bee where honored or a dear


Even those still have a scare


Cause there'll always be a lizard or a bear


Even the rose can't live free


She'll always be under the shadow of a tree


It's this way for ever and you'll have to choose


Between leaving this behind or stay where you are and lose
