Lyrics
The cold winter brushed her hand
The harshness of winter touched her hand.
The lifeless bodies on the ground
Lifeless bodies are scattered on the ground.
She wept for those that gave their lives
She grieves for those who sacrificed their lives.
Her tears turned into flesh and blood
Her tears transform into tangible pain and loss.
Protect our sons
A plea to shield and safeguard our sons.
Our little ones
A plea for protection for the young ones.
Our daughters and their fathers too
Including daughters and their fathers in the plea for safety.
We pray that everyone returns
A prayer for the safe return of everyone.
To their mother's open arms
An appeal for all to come back to the comforting embrace of their mothers.
Time has stopped it withered down
The progression of time marked by hardship and decay.
There were bodies all around
Description of the aftermath with bodies scattered.
They asked what war was all about
Questioning the purpose and meaning of war.
But no one ever told them why
Expressing the lack of explanation for war to the younger generation.
Protect our sons
Reiteration of the plea to protect sons.
Our little ones
Repetition of the plea for the safety of the little ones.
Our daughters and their fathers too
Repeating the plea for daughters and fathers.
We pray that everyone returns
Reiterating the prayer for the return of everyone.
To their mother's open arms
Repetition of the hope for a return to the mother's embrace.
We lived within
Describing a life within broken homes.
Our broken homes
Highlighting the struggle of daily life within those broken homes.
We prayed each day and night
Expressing continuous prayers day and night.
We hope that everyone returns
A collective hope for the safe return of everyone.
To their mother's open arms
The reiterated desire for a return to the comforting arms of mothers.
