When the bomb went off that killed your mother And you left at midnight with your sister and your father When you spent your first night sleeping amid the mortars As your family made its way to the Turkish border As you saw the dead and dying all around you When there was nowhere you could hide, nothing you could do
And when you were living in a tent in Turkey There along with a million other refugees When your father said we must keep heading north to Sweden That there we might live in a house again As you slept out in the open beneath the darkness of the sky Did you dream about your mama and her hazel eyes
Did you miss Aleppo and your nanny, Nenita Did you wish you could be home in Syria
When you crammed into the raft that took you to dry land Did your spirits lift a little when your father kissed the sand Did you listen to him say now we must go to Macedonia Did you hear somebody tell him it was better than Bulgaria And as you ran across the border that took you out of Greece And you saw your father being hit by the police
When you packed into the truck, did you feel the trepidation As it moved along the highway closer towards your destination How soon did people realize, when did they begin to shout How hard was your heart pounding before all the air ran out What was your final dream from which you would not awaken Did you wonder why your young life now was going to be taken
Or did you just miss Aleppo...Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
