about

This song is a prayer for the evils of war, and a lament for the unforgivable pain and suffering of innocent children brought to this world in the midst of conflict rooted in the perpetual human quest for power and money. I mourn the lives of our most precious gifts, destroyed before they have even started. I pray for the forgiveness of humanity for the evils of war, and for the hypocrisy of the nations of this world that hide behind the veil of human rights whilst still reaping the benefits of war.

lyrics

She didn't know
Her toy was a bomb
Her purity, innocence ripped away
In agony
What did she do to deserve this life?
Tiny bodies gasp for air polluted by death
Lives sacrificed for power and money

I cry
Our hearts burn
Our souls mourn
Deliver them
From this world

All the pain
All the torture
Our gifts from God destroyed
Just for greed
Sweet child
Close your eyes
Your death brings fortune to the streets of the powerful cities
