Her eyes told me the story
of a girl that had no home
sleeping under midnight stars
a gypsy she shall roam

She bathes in warm pond water
her skin as soft as silk
her laughter is contagious
her smile as white as milk

This boy could love that gypsy girl
and make her world complete
I think she would fall in love with me
if only we could meet

atrocities of the world
have left me frozen inside
and now all I want
is a place to hide

blood and bullets
flying through the air
brother killing brother
and neither care

babies dying
by the doctors blade
children go missing
girls to slave trade

every night
I lay in bed
pray for the living
and then for the dead

my simple request is
for all to heal
and every child
to get a hot meal

in the end
sister and brother
cause like they say
we only have each other

go forth through the night
not uttering a sound
keep your head low
and face to the ground

don't tell them your name
or date of birth
bank account info
or how much your worth

don't offer your palm print
or the color of your eyes
too much info
and everyone dies

the gathering has begun
