Crying Out
by Adelaine

Album: Take Heart - EP

She reaches out to him.
With an aching heart.
His terrified eyes are tearing her apart.
She doesn't wanna say that.
He was born into a time.
Where the very act of breathing.
Can be considered a crime.

He screams "Why, oh Mother why?
Do they bomb whole cities wide?
Will we live to see the morning?
Who will have mercy on our lives?"

He weeps for his family.
And the constant threat of death.
When the end of this war comes.
Will there be anyone left?
How many orphans will be left in the wake?
Will his son get to understand.
The meaning of happiness?

He screams "Why, oh Mother why?
Do they bomb whole cities wide?
Will we live to see the morning?
Who will have mercy on our lives?"
He screams "Why, oh Mother why?
Why do all my friends have to die?
Will we live to see the morning?
Who will have mercy on our lives?"

We are the children, Lost in a dying world.
The sky is on fire with the blood of our fathers.
And in the air is a symphony.
Of mourning by our mothers.
