Breathe in breathe out
Clean fresh air
Breathing without a care
Stop, stand and listen
Stop, stand and listen
Birds swooping around
Listen to their glorious sound
Open your eyes and look around
Open your eyes and look around
Beautiful picturesque scenery
Look at that luscious greenery
Now close your eyes and clear your mind
Breathe in breathe out
While death is all about
Stop, stand and listen
While bombs drop and your muscles stiffen
Open your eyes and look around
At what was once your home, your town
Children crying in pain and fear
Starving, confused - no loved ones near
Adults powerless to protect those they love
As gunfire reigns from up above
So stop for a moment and have some gratitude
While we pray for ceasefire from this old aged feud
❤️❤️❤️
