God Save Syria

Once we lived in a country
Filled with bliss and tranquillity

That was in March, When hell broke loose
And changed our lives forever and ever

What has our experience been like home
Is now an asylum for violence and savagery

We are at death's door, playing with fire
There's no more peace, no hope for survival

Air of melancholy surrounded us
Chemical strikes fainted few but killed many

The bloodthirsty mob took over the city
Death in the form of air strikes is imminent

The rich and the poor were running helter-skelter
Brutality rampaged beyond its boiling point

"My God! What is happening?"
 
Mothers cried, while fathers wept
Looking at their kids, Who can never come back to life

Amidst the chaos, We walked around looking for bread
We fought against one another for the last piece

We bled and cried aloud, Death may come from any direction
It is clear that we were out of second chances

To cheat death and in pursuit of a better life
We decided to start our journey towards the west

With no money and food, We kept running
Kept stopping and crouching to escape from the snipers

One fine day, we could smell the salt water
Thank god, we were close to the sea

We embarked upon the dinghy,
Sailing through the rising tide for hours

We then came across another boat,
It was police, who stopped us and brought us ashore

Finally, we made ourselves into Europe,
We are refugees now, my dear

Longing for home, Tears rolled down
It's true, we cannot go there now

Every day and every second we pray to god
Asking for war to end, and peace be restored

God! please save Syria.
