Many children ripped from the arms of their parents
Scared, confused, not understanding what’s going on
Kicking, screaming, crying as their separated from their loved ones
Why? What did I do? Where are you taking me? I want my mommy!

As the shadow of their parents slowly fade as their being swept away
Not knowing what is going on, not understanding but trying to be strong
Being put in captivity with thousands of others children
Being locked up like animals abandoned from their owners
Yet these children weren’t left behind but still thrown in cages like wild animals
Abandoned
Alone
Scared
Worried
Wondering where they will end up
If they will ever see their parents again....
Feeling helpless
Feeling unsure
Someone rip them away right from under their noses
Hands slip away and fingertips come undone
Reaching out for hope to where they belong
Sadness grows as times goes on
Innocent children growing up to continue singing this sad song...
