I couldn’t sleep last night I Watched the news about Syria
And I was not alone there were a thousand people without a home

I went upstairs and kissed my children as they were sleeping in their
beds
So did a thousand mothers with their children in their arms dead

In Syria

I went outside I watched the stars and it was then I started to cry
So did a thousand fathers for the rest of their lives

In Syria

How can we stop a war we forgot about
The Syrian cry it is a desert shout

I couldn’t sleep last night I Watched the news about Syria
And I was not alone there were a thousand people without a home

How can we stop a war we forgot about
The Syrian cry it is a desert shout
