A little girl once viewed the ruined land

Glazed upon the skies where darkness is at hand

Tears on her face as she walked along

The land is in pain, suffering and sorrow

Sunrise may not be peaceful as it seems

For guns cry loud as fast as the streams

The poor little girl, freezing at night

Dead people around and filled with fright

Shrilling with fear as the villagers run

Begging for mercy as many times as they can

An army of invaders who took the girl’s dream

Justice and peace, the whole nation screams

Hoping for the next day this war would end

That the wounded heart would totally mend

For a bright future, a peaceful world

For this little girl’s sake and a good tomorrow

Counting the days where all men would be awaken

From a deep sleep where their eyes had been taken

To a silent, selfish and ungrateful desire

Let’s all unite so that peace shall not be exiled
