Streets Of Iraq - Tayyibah Khan
Walking through the streets of Iraq
My heart is filled with sadness
Oh Allah, Oh Allah
The streets are stained with blood and death
Oh Allah, Oh Allah
The streets are stained with blood and death
The cries of all the children fill my ears
The cries of orphan-children I hear
Not knowing what their future holds
The streets are stained with blood and death
Oh Allah, Oh Allah
The streets are stained with blood and death
Widows and mothers cry in despair
For loved ones lost in bloodshed
Watching and waiting in pain
The streets are stained with blood and death
Oh Allah, Oh Allah
The streets are stained with blood and death
The people I see are filled with fear
Of bombs and guns and being homeless
Not certain if the box that they hold
Has food in it or cluster-bombs
Oh Allah, Oh Allah
The streets are stained with blood and death ( x2 )
Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Show us Your mercy, Ya Allah ( x2 )
Show us Your mercy, Ya Allah
