Syria oh Syria why do you bleed? Brother fights brother without thought or need Ruled by a tyrant for so many years And now the spilt blood is washed away by tears
Democracy by debate you tried and you failed Now the wives and mothers they cry and they wail Democracy now sought at the point of a gun Your country in turmoil, lives being undone
I sympathise and weep at your terrible plight Your people are dying, no end in sight Can man ever undo the chaos he's wrought? Going to war without reason or thought
Syria oh Syria your bloods being drained By those who would seek political gain When the killing is done will you be better off? Is what you might gain worth all the loss?
Your economy gone so how will you live? The worlds in recession, no money to give Families destroyed and homes are no more All destroyed by a political war
