Children cry out for their mothers
No one to give a tender touch
Or to give the kiss of life
Shame on us humans

The world has broken into tiny pieces
The heat is rising every second
Water, food, medicine
All out of reach, out of hand

Dreams turn to ashes
Wishes all unfulfilled
At every step you move
Death embraces with its long arms

Walls broken, gates crushed
The hearts of folk all bleeding
The palaces and marble halls
All blistering in the desert heat

Let's give peace a chance
Beneath the armour and helmet
We are all humans
Loving, just helpless friends

The desert in all its fury
Shows a hot and reddened face
Every grain of sand is hotter than ever before
The sun shines bright, spreading its heat everywhere

Where are the hanging gardens of Babylon
Where are the rivers of eternal life
Let life take ebb and flow
Let's not just put them under our feet
