Wooden Legs and Frozen Smiles: A Call for Global Unity
Lyrics
It was a few years ago
Referring to a past event a few years ago
As I visited a large factory
Describing a visit to a large factory
With great and new shop floors
Highlighting the presence of new and spacious shop floors
Equipped with endless shelves
Depicting shelves that seem to stretch endlessly
Filled with thousands of wooden legs
Describing the shelves filled with thousands of wooden legs
Lined up in several levels
Portraying the wooden legs arranged on multiple levels
Made of shiny beech wood
Identifying the material of the legs as shiny beech wood
And in all different sizes
Observing the various sizes of wooden legs available
I saw those for adults
Noticing wooden legs designed for adults
And also those for the kids
Noticing wooden legs designed for kids
All those tiny little wooden feet
Referring to small wooden feet for kids
All those tiny little wooden legs
Repeating the presence of small wooden legs for kids
They were waiting for a destroyed live
Suggesting that these legs are awaiting use in challenging lives
To be attached to a destroyed body
Expressing the purpose of attaching legs to bodies that have suffered damage
And all that those pitiable kids
Noting the difficult circumstances of the children
Will use all that sizes
Emphasizing that children of all sizes will need these wooden legs
It was a few years ago
Reiterating the past occurrence a few years ago
As I saw a photo of two kids
Recalling a photo featuring two kids
They were standing close together
Describing the physical closeness of the two kids in the photo
And looking down into the camera
Detailing the gaze of the kids looking down into the camera
Looking down with a frozen smile
Highlighting the frozen smiles on their faces
Both where leaning on crutches
Noting that both kids are leaning on crutches
Both were missing a foot
Stating that both kids are missing a foot
Both were waiting on a wooden leg
Emphasizing that both kids are waiting for wooden legs
Shouldn't it be our job?
Pondering whether it should be the collective responsibility of society to help
Shouldn't we all stand together?
Promoting the idea of standing together for a common cause
Shoulder to shoulder
Advocating unity by standing shoulder to shoulder
The whole world
Extending the call for unity to the entire world
And support these children
Encouraging support for children facing difficulties
Their suffering as a symbol
Viewing the suffering of children as a symbol
Their smile as a motivation
Considering the smiles of children as motivation
In the fight for peace
Proposing a collective effort in the fight for peace
