Mosul
Freedom fighter
Who comes my way
I admire your courage
Your suffering
To give me back
The right to speak
The right to live
The right to be
Come and free me
Bring water for my mother
My little brother and my father
Please keep in mind
Defeating the evil enemy
Is but a first step
For to keep us alive
We need to rebuild
To replace the stones
In the destroyed schools
Welcoming teachers
And flowers
To the garden of life
