come back to bed it’ll be over soon
daddy will come back when he has some food
daughter said “mother were doomed”
mother said “God will be there for you”
but mother what about you

used to cry now i have no time
have to go now daughter they cut out the light
we have to wait for daddy
he’s traveling
now i know exactly what that means

honey please blow out the candle
there’s nothing i can do about the window
it’s raining its pouring and Jesus is snoring
so much for a promise
my eyes getting teary
the only thing i wish today
is for someone to make
a better way
but until that day
i guess it’s not so happy
a “happy birthday”

today a bomb went off
the only thing you can hear is a cough
in the building
i wish i could do something
but i’m just a kid the only thing i can do is dream
that there are angles in the sky
will they come down or is this goodbye
is this goodbye?
