I'm running from my home
It's not safe where I lived
I was never alone
But now that's all I feel

I was happy back there
I could play with my friends
And smile without a care
Why couldn't it of lasted

They arrived in the night
Gunshots tore the still sky
My minds clouded by fright
Oh please, be a nightmare

I ran to my window
And gasped at What I saw
A sky filled with black snow
"Ma ma! Pa pa!" I cried

My parents slammed the door
They came and held me tight
"We can't stay anymore."
Pa pa sobbed as we wept

"Quick, pack you bags, my son."
Ma ma threw me a bag
Gunshots drowned by a bomb
"Come!" She pulled me outside

There's chaos on the streets
My whole village has fled
We've been walking for weeks
But there's no time to rest

Nowhere to go, nowhere to stay
This is my life now, I life where no one is safe
