Tragedy and trouble struck one day,

The earthquake wiped my whole village away.

As I stand amidst the dust and rubble

Blood and scabs infect my feet

I hear the voices of hope,

Not the voices of defeat.

Buried in the debris, the painful cries ring out

Trapped within the walls, those alive begin to shout

Can the world help me? Will they hear my calls?

Will they break me free?

From this village of broken walls?

Will the world act quickly?

Remove its binding string

That keeps blocking all the aid

That those who care are trying to bring.

When our walls in the village

Came crashing to the ground

Help from our world

Should have been the first and only sound

And while we continue to dig our people out

We wait for you, those who question, those who doubt

Move things forward, break down your restricting walls

And answer to the cries, and our wailing calls.

Don’t hold back the aid

Break down your barricade

For our lives await your helping hand

Help our people, Help our world and our land.

Build a new world for each human

So no matter who is in pain

The world can quickly reach them

And release them from their chain.

With new life, new homes,

no more walls to bind

We will all share one label

That would be “mankind”.
