One man wants to control it all
The money, the land, the beat of your own heart
He will take it all away in one day
Make so much pain God won't hear you pray
Aleppo child why don't you cry
Maybe it's better you don't
This pile of stone was once your home
Why cry when you're alone
Covered in dust with no one to trust
What can I say living miles away
With my nation's lies will I understand why
Everyday living like its night
In your, country another person dies in a fraction of a second
Aleppo child why don't you cry
Because you don't know how so why even try
Or do your tears fill the capital's fountain
Just so Asad can take a swim in
Just to wash away the blood of your mom and dad
Nothing grows in the ruins of war
A wasteland becomes the only achievement of man
Can't create peace from war like you can get blood from a turnip
If you could the many lives it would save
Aleppo child why don't you cry
Living in the eternal night
