Out on the street they are wounded with hate
Throwing their stones for their destiny and fate
Nurtured with pride they stubbornly stand
Children in fear they try to understand
With anger and rage they are tortured inside
The soldiers stand while the refugee hides
Watching from, ruins they play with their guns
Out on the street under the sun
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
Bandaged and broken bloody and bruised
Running around in rack and ruin
Born into this their puberty state
Keep the gates locked Heaven can wait..
In this land of their youth they fight for their soul
Straight from the heart they shoot at their goal
This is for real you must keep your head
Just one mistake no chance to play dead..
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
Just now and then in their flickering eyes
A teardrop will fall for the ones who have died
The bullet will kill, but the memory hurts
Again and again in the heat and the dirt
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
And when this fighting is finally over
and we ask what the fighting is all for..
It is the children who suffer
for they are the true victims of war,
For they are the true victims of war..
Throwing their stones for their destiny and fate
Nurtured with pride they stubbornly stand
Children in fear they try to understand
With anger and rage they are tortured inside
The soldiers stand while the refugee hides
Watching from, ruins they play with their guns
Out on the street under the sun
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
Bandaged and broken bloody and bruised
Running around in rack and ruin
Born into this their puberty state
Keep the gates locked Heaven can wait..
In this land of their youth they fight for their soul
Straight from the heart they shoot at their goal
This is for real you must keep your head
Just one mistake no chance to play dead..
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
Just now and then in their flickering eyes
A teardrop will fall for the ones who have died
The bullet will kill, but the memory hurts
Again and again in the heat and the dirt
And it's over and over and over again,
Over and over again
Over and over and over again,
And it's over and over again..
And when this fighting is finally over
and we ask what the fighting is all for..
It is the children who suffer
for they are the true victims of war,
For they are the true victims of war..

Album: Victims
"In all recent wars the innocent victims are always the children. Nearly a third of those who died in the recent war in Lebanon were children…" (Alan)
