[Verse 1]
I drew a sun today
On the schoolyard wall
My shoes are too small
For a running day
My brother keeps the door
My mother hides the sky
We learn to count the cracks
And still we ask you why
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, small heart
We still believe
Fold the smoke away
Let the children breathe
[Chorus]
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
I want a name, a book
A place to belong
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
[Verse 2]
My kite knows my street
My kite knows my fear
It stutters in the wind
When the sirens near
I saved a little bread
For the girl next door
She said, "I want tomorrow
Like we had before"
[Pre-Chorus]
Hands up, small heart
We still believe
Fold the smoke away
Let the children breathe
[Chorus]
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
I want a name, a book
A place to belong
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
[Bridge]
If you can hear me now
Put down the night
Give back the school steps
Give back my kite
Give back the bread
Give back my song
Make the world soft
Where we’ve been torn
[Final Chorus]
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
I want a name, a book
A place to belong
Let me play, learn, grow
with out your bombs
