I cried when I saw the picture flash upon the screen
A picture that should never ever have to be seen
A child lying lifeless, washed up upon the shore
Know one could have known what his life was like before
His parents unknown trying to escape from a war torn land
Something many of us will never understand
Desperately praying their child finds a new peaceful life
The husband shaking, consoling his devastated wife
An electric shock to the system meaning we all have to act
The world should unite to form a revolutionary pact
No more blaming immigrants and asylum seekers too
Pawns in a political game played by the political few
Goodbye little one you will have changed the human race
Unfortunately your precious life we can not replace
Sleep tight up there and look down from heaven above
The world stood still in mourning showering you with their
love
