Children Of The War

born and raised
at gunpoint
we were taught to follow
not to think

they were our parents
they were our gods
everything was laid out
in simple black and white

but now it has changed
the chains broken
taught only to follow
now we look for guidance

unable to think
on our own
we are caught in constant dilemma
lost without our voices

if you broke the chains
teach us how to stand on our feet
or forever we shall be
the children of the war
