Come back to me


A mother, crying

A daughter, fighting

We didn't do nothing wrong, now we're trapped

Guns, and fighting

Lying, crying

We just want an education, not forever trapped

 

I know they're gonna kill us~

I know they won't believe us-

I know I may never see~

Our families again~-

 

Come back to me my sweetheart

Come back to me my love

I pray for you, to follow the trail of the ones that we pray to

Come back to me my sweetheart

Come back to me my love

We will never part, for my heart goes out to you

 

Mama I need you-

I'm scared~

What do the bad men want-

Help me please!~

 

Come back to me my sweetheart, my love

We'll make a new life among different trees.
