OPEN YOUR EYES
Wake up the humanity
We don’t have much time left
If we continue like this,
Sowing the shadows
River of tears of children and mothers,
Oceans of blood flowing of dead brothers,
Do we forget that we are the same species?
What makes instead of exterminating us
Should we take care of ourselves?
Let’s open the eyes
There is only one God
And dwells among each of us,
We are his chosen land
We deserve ourselves as his children.
It doesn’t matter what in a name
Or as you invoke him, his son, as you are
He accepts you and will always hear your prayers
Wake up, the humanity… wake up…
Say no more oppression, no more bombs on innocent
Say no more deaths
In the name of a god
That is love and mercy
Wake up, brother … wake up.
