God bless the Children of Syria

God bless the children of Syria,
who cry only for their world to go back together,
caring not for the ways of the world and who wins,
when everybody loses as rubble becomes their homes.

God bless the children of Syria,
who harbor no hate for anyone but hunger, oh
they hunger for more than food and what words
they lack to ask for what does not even rise as prayer.

God bless the children of Syria,
Forgive us this day our weapons of any kind,
that ravage more than a land or a people but pain
the soul that knows the void from people who don't care
for what really matters.
