A Child's Eyes

Wandering through the dark
No one to hold his hand
The fear in him so stark
Cause he doesn’t understand

What he did that was so wrong
If only God would make him strong
While we ignore the cries …
And the fear in a child’s eyes
And the fear in a child’s eyes

His home it lies in rubble
There’s nowhere for him to hide
He didn’t ask for all this trouble
If only his parents had survived

They could help him fight his fears
And wipe away his tears
Speak truth to all the lies …
And the pain in a child’s eyes
And the pain in a child’s eyes

His only dream is to be free
To roam from the river to the sea

He’d always believed in God
But how could God be so cruel
Though it was no lightning rod
But a crazy Zionist fool

And a deadly Beltway bomb
That came falling from the sky
And just like that he’s gone …
No sign of life in that child’s eyes
No sign of life in that child’s eyes

His only dream was to be free
To roam from the river to the sea
