    There’s a little boy, in a little house
    He loves attention
    And in his loving home when the lights go out
    He wants to play
    He says: “Look at me mommy, look at me!
    I am flying can you see?”
    But the little boy hears his mother cry
    It’s all familiar
    And with this noise outside he knows where to hide
    And holds her close
    She says “look at me baby, look at me
    In your heart I’ll always be”
    Stop the war
    Stop the war before he falls
    Stop the war
    He’s a dreamer
    He is pure
    When the darkness clears
    His home disappears
    The world is turning
    And through the cloudy sky a man opens his eyes
    And yells, and prays
    He screams “look at me boy look at me
    Can you hear me can you breathe?”
    But paralyzed from the scene
    Not one tear falls on his cheek
    Stop the war
    Stop the war before he falls
    Stop the war
    He’s a dreamer
    He is pure
    Another little girl in another house
    She loves affection
    And in her loving home when the lights go out
    She wants to play
    She wants to play

    *Lyrics*
    There’s a little boy, in a little house
    He loves attention
    And in his loving home when the lights go out
    He wants to play
    He says: “Look at me mommy, look at me!
    I am flying can you see?”
    But the little boy hears his mother cries
    It’s all familiar
    And with this noise outside he knows where to hide
    And holds her close
    She says “look at me baby, look at me
    In your heart I’ll always be”
    Stop the war
    Stop the war before he falls
    Stop the war
    He’s a dreamer
    He is pure
    Now, when the darkness clears
    His home disappears
    The world is turning
    And through the cloudy skies a man opens his eyes
    And yells, and prays
    He screams “look at me boy look at me
    Can you hear me can you breathe?”
    But terrorized by the scene
    Not one tear falls on his cheek
    s
    Stop the war
    Stop the war before he falls
    Stop the war
    He’s a dreamer
    He is pure
    He doesn't know what you're fighting for
    Stop the war
    Stop the war
    before he falls
    Stop the war
    He’s a dreamer
    He is pure
    so Stop your war
    Stop your war (x8)
    Another little girl in another house
    She loves affection
    And in her loving home when the lights go out
    She wants to play
    She wants to play

    A stunningly moving and beautifully performed piece - many congratulations to all involved. The whole performance provokes tears & cuts through to the heart. I was especially struck by Naika's voice (& composition) and Aliya's Oud - but it's a little invidious to single individuals out. A profound & (regrettably) timeless Truth. Thank you so much.
