Lyrics

(Verse 1)
The world trembles, the news breaks through,
Another conflict, a distant flame.
They say "it must be," they say "for justice,"
But on the ground lies a toy train,
Forgotten in the fear, a child who sees no more.
Why war against everyone?
Who draws the lines here, who decides the game?
The street is silent, the market empty,
The ordinary person bears the burden every time.
A house of memories, now just dust and rubble.

(Chorus)
Why do you kill the children?
Is your enemy really an enemy, or just a face?
Aim your arrows, target sharp,
Hit only military targets, let life live.
But in smoke and steel, the distinction fades,
And a mother screams where no one listens anymore.

(Verse 2)
And somewhere a scientist says, look up,
The air is heavy, the earth sighs.
We must pay attention to the climate,
Every day a battle for tomorrow, for the sea, for green.
But look: a rocket tears through the clouds,
And greenhouse gases, you create them yourself
By igniting fires that no sky can bear.
What kind of world are we building with one hand,
While the other tears apart everything that breathes?

(Bridge)
Is it too much to ask: peace and clean air?
Is it too simple: let a child dream without fear again?
We search for enemies, but forget our own wounds,
The earth bleeds and we only count losses.

(Chorus)
Why do you kill the children?
Is your enemy really an enemy, or just a face?
Aim your arrows, target sharp,
Hit only military targets, let life live.
But in smoke and steel, the distinction fades,
And a mother screams where no one listens anymore.

(Outro)
Maybe it starts today, with a question,
With a silence that says more than an order.
Maybe it starts when we refuse
To let our hearts turn to stone.
Why war? Why not... peace?
Breathe in, the air isn't completely gone yet.
Look up, build not walls, but a world.
A world.
