When I was born I did not know you…
We were miles away, but in my heart I felt you…
It was not until I was a little child
That my eyes first gazed upon your beautiful skies
I now regret, that I had not realized
I was taking for granted the most precious thing in my life

I wish I could spread my wings and fly
Somewhere where no one will die infront of my eyes
Somewhere where we won’t live dying to survive
Where family’s around, not in the skies
I wish I could spread my wings and fly…
But we are living in reality…
The gravity of war holds me grounded
And I’m surrounded
By what I wish could’ve been
Had politicians cared about me
And it’s not about me
When I was younger I used to dream
That I’ll get older and it would be me
Surrounded by the people for who I would give up to live
But now those people are far away
And I’m stuck here waiting for a better day
I see that day slowly slipping away
Reality is wrong, for that I pray
Because in my dreams it’s all okay
A bomb never dropped anywhere
A smile never left my face…
Because those that are gone stayed
The soil which I bleed never got red
