Ashira S Lullaby
God, protect your children
Keep them safe from harm
God, take your children
Welcome them into your arms
I am a child of betrayal
My innocence is their derail
God, can you hear me over the bombs?
Or are my sins not quiet enough?
If you can see me in the darkness
I ask you for your forgiveness
My time will end but I’m not alone
Please protect the other children of betrayal
Young girl.
Full bus.
One explosion.
Somewhere,
children are singing.
God, protect your children
Keep them safe from harm
God, take your children
Welcome them into your arms
We are children of betrayal
Our innocence is their derail
A life not chosen, but here we are
To fight a war we know not for
God, if you’re out there, hear our cries!
Save your children from our conflicted minds
Beaten and poisoned but we prevail
Forgiveness we ask for the children of betrayal
