A desperate child is so trapped in war
He’s never heard, of Santa Clause
Has a life of fear, heartache and pain
And every day, he’s gonna suffer again
Darn’t close his eye’s, for sleep or rest
Though mom and dad, have done their best
His life is fear, heartache and pain
And every day that he lives, will be just the same
Gas and the bombs make him tremble with fear
And no one cares, while he’s shedding a tear
He lives in fear heartache and pain
And every day he survives, will be just the same
Now one of his friends isn’t quite well
Her leg was hurt by an-exploding shell
His life is all fear heartache and pain
And every day he survives, will be just the same
Food is so scarce, almost nothing to eat
And he’s never seen a real piece of meat
An escape to the west may quell his despair
But no one he’s heard, really want him back there
Gas and the bombs make him tremble with fear
And no one cares, while he’s shedding a tear
He lives a life of heartache and pain
And every day of he survives, will be just the same
Has god forsaken these children of war
Innocence lost and what is it for
A long life of fear heartache and pain
And as he grows up nothing will change
Gas and the bombs make him tremble with fear
And no one cares, while he’s shedding a tear
He lives a life of heartache and pain
And every day of he survives, will be just the same
