the wind is fresh and falling water
helps me forget Syria

Dark as the heart of the storm in a village
mud and blood in the Mediterranean

overhead and a peaceful village
away from the storms in Syria

br.
lets take boat and go see Europe
all that we have to pay for a blue sky
overhead and a peaceful village
away from the storms in Syria
