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
