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
