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
