We Want to Learn and Play

(Verse 1)
Amidst the dust and shattered ruins
We keep dreaming of tomorrow’s light
We are children longing for knowledge and growth
But bullets and bombs block every path in sight
(Chorus)
We want to learn, to write our dreams
In a safe place, free from fear’s screams
We also want to play, like other kids do
Far from the war, far from oppression’s view
(Verse 2)
In our little hearts, there’s hope inside
For schools and playgrounds where peace resides
We want to know a world beyond the pain
We deserve to grow in love’s warm rain
(Chorus)
We want to learn, to write our dreams
In a safe place, free from fear’s screams
We also want to play, like other kids do
Far from the war, far from oppression’s view
(Bridge)
Let us dream and run beneath bright skies
Without fear, without the tears we cry
We want to live like other kids do
With smiles so pure, in a world that’s true
(Chorus)
We want to learn, to write our dreams
In a safe place, free from fear’s screams
We also want to play, like other kids do
Far from the war, far from oppression’s view
(Outro)
We are children in a land of sorrow
We need a place to learn and play
End the violence, give us tomorrow
So we can grow in peace and joy each day
