This Song Will Make You Hate War

I thought the sky was blue…

why is it falling?


[Verse 1 – solo little girl] I drew a house with yellow light a dog, a tree, a star at night but now the walls are made of dust and everything I loved is lost They said “be brave, don’t cry too loud” but silence screams inside a crowd I hold my doll without a face we ran, but never left this place [Pre-Chorus – soft choir enters] We were playing yesterday… now the games have gone away… [Chorus – children choir (girls), broken harmony] We were never meant to learn war never meant to hear the sky roar never meant to count the dead or hide beneath a broken bed We were never meant to grow old with hearts already turned so cold we were children… we were light… who turned off the world tonight? [Verse 2 – trembling voice, bombs louder] Mama said “just close your eyes” but darkness only multiplies I hear her voice inside my head but she’s not here… she’s gone instead They took tomorrow from my hands left only ashes in this land I don’t know what we did wrong we only tried to sing our song [Bridge – silence, then distant crying] (whisper choir) Where do broken children go…? (single child crying softly) [Final Chorus – full choir, emotional collapse] We were never meant to learn war never meant to lose so much more never meant to say goodbye before we even learned to fly If there’s a God, can He still hear a thousand children drowning in fear? we are calling… we are here… does nobody want us near? [Outro – only one voice, barely audible] please… stop…
