Children Of Gaza

The halls of power are fading
Old men fall from fragile thrones
The future shines in children
This whole world will be their own
They carry pencils, not the weight of war
But their voices shake the earth once more
Children are the future, rising from the night
Carrying the truth, standing in the light
From ashes they build, from rubble they call
From Gaza's tents, they're teaching us all
September bells ring in every land
Classrooms fill with dreams in hand
For Gaza's child, the chalk is dust
Still they learn, in hope they trust
No walls can cage the lessons they give
No bombs can kill the will to live
As old men wither, history bends
To children's hands, where it all begins
Children are the future, their voices stay
From Gaza's tents, new hope lights the way
No schools to return to, still they stand tall
Learning in the shadows, teaching us all
Children everywhere put on their shoes
Backpacks ready, walking into schools
But Gaza wakes to silence, empty halls
Two years passed, no classrooms at all
Children are the future, hear them sing
Hope is in their hands, the dawn they bring
Breaking down the borders, breaking walls
From Gaza's tents, a future for all
