Hey World, do you hear me?
They torture us everyday.
They rip us, they tear us,
Steal our dignity away!
Hey World, come and look,
Its crowded everywhere.
The bodies under rubble,
now souls of paradise!
Hey World we have mothers,
with babies in their hands.
With fears in their eyes,
Displaced again and again!
Hey World we have daughters,
Who lost all they once had,
Who will stand?
who will shield them?
From the ‘human’ animals.
Hey World we have a right,
The right to survive.
The right to breathe,
Not be stolen everyday!
Hey World enough is enough!
Raise voice much louder!
To save our dignity,
Bring justice in to action!
