What have you heard, what have you seen?
What has your young heart felt?
What's your dream, what's your name?
Is there a sanctuary for you here?
So many endless nights
And nowhere to exhale
So many codes, rules, thickets
And everything that you don't understand
Like that you're worth something
Who sees you now, my friend?
Your fear of
Getting burned once again
Who stole your safety net?
You who was forced to grow up
Even though you're a child
Who sees you now, my friend?
I believe we've met before
Different circumstances, different words
The same hunger, the same thirst
Your look carries traces of deep loss
Behind the facade of a winner
You seem older than you are
Who let you play with guns?
You fled while others fought
You, precious child who wanted peace
Your strength is being weak
Who sees you now, my friend?
Your fear of
Getting burned once again
Who stole your safety net?
You who was forced to grow up
Even though you're a child
The nights that torture you
Memories of what used to be
Betrayal from adults
Who didn't take accountability
Revenge is your retaliation
Your penance toward the shame
Like a child who got burned
Who sees you now, my friend?
