There is no where left to hide she said
No where that we know
We cannot leave in safety now
Even then, where would we go?
Our homes are gone, our trees are burned
Our lives are left in rubble
There is no chance, there is no hope
It's all just toil and trouble.
It feels the world's forgotten us
and left us die in pain
The men in suits they have no hearts
they feel no ounce of shame.
Tell me now what shall i do
and how will I carry on?
When my mother's lies still at my feet and my father's life is gone
My brother starves
my sisters cry
I have no food or water
I'm only ten years old last month
The eldest family daughter.
The tears fell down upon my cheeks as I agreed its just not fair
But though it does not look that way
so many of us care
The people on the streets that march, the ones that speak aloud
The students that protest in peace
The flags held in the crowd
And we're trying to make a difference
and trying to break through
And you and all your people
are the reason why we do
And though we are not there with you
Our spirits' by your side
We see your pain
We feel your pain
And as we watched you cry, we cried.
Oh little one please close your eyes
and imagine
a world we'll build together
With no more war or suffering
No hate or stormy weather
Until that day we'll find a place
To take refuge from despair
We'll laugh and play and dance and sing
No worries, not a care
A hidden place of charm and grace
Where nature runs a mock
Where you'll feel as free as swallows fly
Your soul free from it's lock.
They may try to take all that you own
They may try to bend your knee
But they cannot stop your dreaming child
And they'll never own your key
