the scars of war!!
The cold winter breeze didn't block her way
all she knew was she must survive
with a baby on her back she took her way
away from home, away from blood
The journey was long but her baby's life was precious
with a bullet in her arm she couldn't morn her pains
the cries of her baby increased her steps
ahead she moves like a marching soldier,
with a terrible past and an unknown future.
with fright and tears she walked so fast
with nothing to eat nor a drop to drink
the sun behind, the moon ahead,
she wondered where to pass her night.
with all the noises of bullets in the sky
she had no choice than move so fast
All night long she had no rest,
for all her fears where clear to see
accompanied with frightful feelings of dawn
she walked so fast to save her soul
her baby is starving and she is dying
all she wished was love and peace.
near a stream of flowing water,
she took a rest to take a sip
but fell across a pile of corpse
born to live but killed by men!!
with fright and fear she ran so fast
to save her soul and save her child.
thousand miles away from home,
she found a group of gentlemen
who ran to her and took her child
the journey is over, she had found peace!
her swollen legs could stand no more
her bleeding arm would take her life
she fell down low and looked up high
all she said were words of peace
with tears in her eyes and smile on her face
she died down slow like a melting ice
her baby was save but she was gone
born to live but killed by men,
what a world of thousand scars.
