Faces of children
Turning mature,
Gray birds of steel make
Feel insecure.

We did not want it,
They did not ask us,
We are not weak but
We're feeling helpless.

Black gold exported,
More like black tears,
Tension and dirt are
In atmosphere,

Screens keep broadcasting
Prejudiced matters,
What once was friendship
Now is in tatters.

[Refrain:]
Her name is war and for sure
She can walk through every door
Of every country and place,
Regardless of name and face.
She changes body and mind,
Leaves blood-red petals behind,
Nobody's asking for this!
You gotta salvage peace!

What are the chances
To break the fences,
To make advances —
No one can answer,

Much controversy,
Newscasts spoon-feed us,
Come to agreement,
National leaders!

Stop violation,
Drama and madness!
We've gotten sick of
Hearing bad news!

Heavens keep tab on
Who needs assistance,
Strong ones are able
To go the distance!

[Refrain.]
