Some nations have airplanes Birds and other skyward creatures But Afghans live with blood flying Through clouds and countryside
Oh mother city City of love and mercy How long must you carry this sorrow
When you come to me Bring a pair of eyes So that I can see the world differently
Anyone passing by can sit Under the dream tree In this quiet space Their wounds will heal
