Walking through the streets of Iraq

[راجي الحاج]

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

Ya Allah, Ya Allah
Show us Your mercy, Ya Allah



Show us Your mercy, Ya Allah
