Child from Aleppo
You ask me
Why we fight
You ask me
Why I risk
And this could be
The last day of my life
It is for you
For all the children
Who have the right
To a free life
It is for all the shrines
Of all religions
Of all humankind
It is to stop the monsters
The evil who has taken place
Who has destroyed, killed and defaced
The temples full of grace
We fight for you
So that you will have a choice
To be
And to be the future
You want to be
