Did you get up in the morning, see your kids off to school As you headed to the office was it hard to keep your cool When you saw the news and the picture of the boy On the beach just down the coast from the ancient town of Troy Did you think about the victims of these most uncivil wars When you saw the children washing up upon our shores
Did you hear the pundits talking, did you hear them say We must have law and order, all these migrants cannot stay Did you see the people walking, trying not to look At the headlines splashed around them and this photo someone took Did you want to shout at each of them, knock on every door And tell them there are children washing up upon our shores
Is the thought seared in your mind when you see your son or daughter Of this child from Kobane face down beside the water Did you keep on asking since then, what if it had been you Do you just wish that you could find out what just one person could do Is his image all around you as the sweat comes from your pores There are children washing upon upon our shores
Do you just keep on asking yourself the question why As you make dinner for your children, this one had to die If you just hit the road from England a few days south and east Do you think about how you could, and once you're there at least You could leave a flower, and hear the wind implore There are children washing up upon our shoresTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
