This is a prayer for the Children of Aleppo Whose tragedy was concealed before the eyes of the giants Whose tears never had a chance to fall down to the ground My Lord, my Almighty One Keep these children Welcome them back to Your arms Let them feel loved again Help them subside the pain they felt Fill their newly-furnished rooms With songs and laughter Let them forget the scent of gunpowder and bombs Teach them how to smile once more Bring back the glimmer in their eyes And as for those who still breathe to survive Conceal them with Your love and immense protection Let them know that beneath the ends of the earth There would always be a sunrise A new day Where they could draw their stories And dance their dreams With those eyes staring into blank distance Bewildered, Unaware of what will happen next Let them hear my voice A small voice of cheering them up For this is all I could do for now How foolish am I Lavishly sitting on a comfortable bed Under a secured roof Writing a poem for those who gained my sympathy But You know There's more to that Let them reach this I want to tell them How much they could change this world Hang on tight Believe me Each and everyone of you are tougher than any fighter this history could ever tell.

For the Children of Aleppo
This is a prayer for the Children of Aleppo Whose tragedy was concealed before the eyes of the giants Whose tears never had a chance to fall down to the ground My Lord, my Almighty One Keep these children Welcome them back to Your arms Let them feel loved again Help them subside the pain they felt Fill their newly-furnished rooms With songs and laughter Let them forget the scent of gunpowder and bombs Teach them how to smile once more Bring back the glimmer in their eyes And as for those who still breathe to survive Conceal them with Your love and immense protection Let them know that beneath the ends of the earth There would always be a sunrise A new day Where they could draw their stories And dance their dreams With those eyes staring into blank distance Bewildered, Unaware of what will happen next Let them hear my voice A small voice of cheering them up For this is all I could do for now How foolish am I Lavishly sitting on a comfortable bed Under a secured roof Writing a poem for those who gained my sympathy But You know There's more to that Let them reach this I want to tell them How much they could change this world Hang on tight Believe me Each and everyone of you are tougher than any fighter this history could ever tell.
