Children of Aleppo

It hurts our souls to see what war has done
To the children of Aleppo
How did mankind come this far,
Expanding wars' repertoire?
Have we forgotten who we are?

The leaders of the world have closed their eyes
To the children of Aleppo
How can history defend
That we never dared to end
This cruelty of men

We say: How can anyone be that evil?
Stop hurting children of Aleppo
While we proclaim we love them all,
Our hearts have space but our land's too small
So we build a greater wall

It hurts to see what we've become
Save the children of Aleppo
We're one beneath the same old star,
But a ray of hope seems all to far
From this world of fatal wars
Can we ever heal the scars?
