Caravan of sorrow

Caravan of sorrow

For the agonies of bare feet Kurds expelled from Iraq

 

Mama...

I can't bare no more barrow

Little girl...

Put your head on my shoulder

The silence of the world ...

Makes it colder

Little boy don't go on...

                                        your feet are sore

Oh ...I'm so starving ...

Can go no more

The night is so long...

                                   and there is no light

Mama I can't sleep...

I have no might

The baby lost life ...here in my arms

The bombs are growing there...

Far on our farms

Please oh help me ...life is so sad

Bullet in my leg ...

Driving me mad

I only want some... drinking water

Oh ...

I have lost my little daughter

Where is she...

Oh dear... is she asleep

She is so might less...

She can't even weep
