Fear
Year after year they've endured pain of raging fear
Fear of destruction by a monster bomb is so clear
Women and children suffer under a war so unclear
Horror of death overtaken by disease and hunger
Terror of brutal rape serves as a constant reminder
Fear of destruction by a monster bomb is so clear
Coping without necessities like toilets and water
They have abandoned everything they so revere
Terror of brutal rape serves as a constant reminder
Nothing left anymore like shoes or clothes to wear
When someone gets sick there's no medical care
They have abandoned everything they so revere
Moving from place to place looking awfully dire
Families walk helplessly into places of despair
When someone gets sick there's no medical care
Each day of hope morphs as if end of life is near
Year after year they've endured pain of raging fear
Families walk helplessly into places of despair
Women and children suffer under a war so unclear
