ALEPPO
(Lars Glasø)
‘No peace ahead’, the old man said
I remember his curse, “it will be worse!”
Ocean on the horizon, blue sky above
Green trees in the forest, but no sign of a dove
Blistering chaos and a terrible noise
A place to hide a most unlikely choice
The agonies of children, too hard to bear
What happened to our neighbor, did no one care?
It’s getting darker now, the air is filled with fear
The problem is our neighbor,
who doesn’t seem to care
Women must take action, mitigate dissatisfaction
They are the ones who can make us put down the guns
Hush, little baby, don't you cry,
just start watching the sky
The clouds are disappearing,
the sun is breaking through
And it’s all over now, baby blue
