Somewhere

Though the sun shines in the sky It gives no heat The thunder is heard from a distance And whenever there's silence it's deafening The streets are covered in dust Because there is no rain The smell of smoke overshadows the atmosphere It's getting harder to breathe Never keep a blind eye to your back It can become the enemy Today you're called brother, tomorrow just another Head tied, face masked, weapon grasped firmly Soldiers they are called Yet they have no training Run to the hills in search of rescue Dying of thirst, these knees are weak Haven't slept in days the nights keep calling Been on the run for weeks There's no home to go home to Fighting for peace, so many lives lost Pray for peace of mind But there's no peace of country Away from the chaos into the land of the unknown Stepped on a landmine and it exploded
