What About Me

everybody wants their dreams to come true
everybody wants to be able to break through
wanting life always raining roses and candy canes
but what about me...

this place used to be very beautiful
trees and children playing around 
i saw smiles of people passing by
but what about now...

they said we needed help
they said war is the answer to gain peace
now my house is thorned to pieces
what about this...

i used to make promises with my friends
we shared our dreams about the future
but why they don't care about us
we have right to our life and they've taken it away
what about that...

without faith, insanity will strike
without faith, future can't be reached
without hope, children won't dare to live in this land of war
God hears us pray

one day we will smile again
heroes will rise coming from the entire world
with love as their armor fight all the injustice
so we can live together as one

I will wait that day
when we can come out to play
no need to worry for bombs to come
cause this place is a peaceful one
