Each one had a father

There's no one left

A name and a mother

No one left

Each one had a dream

A prayer on their breath

The world's gone black

No one left



On the streets of Manhattan

A dusty wind blows

Letters and wishes

A girl with a rose



On the streets of Baghdad

A dusty wind blows

Letters and wishes

A girl with a rose



Each one had a father

There's no one left

A name and a mother

No one left

Each one had a dream

A prayer on their breath

The world's gone black

No one left



Fire and vengeance

In the New York sky above

Stole my angel

Stole my true love



Fire and vengeance

In the Baghdad sky above

Stole his angel

Stole his true love



I stand on my front porch

I look up at the sky

Will my world go black

In the blink of an eye



He stands out in the desert

He looks up at the sky

Will his world go lack

In the blink of an eye



Each one had a father

There's no one left

A name and a mother

No one left

Each one had a dream

A prayer on their breath

The world's gone black

No one left



Each one had a wish

Each one had a home

Each one had a name

A name and a rose
