Somebody tell me why they burned my home
They buried all the hope like a baby unborn
Look there is no one left there behind
Even to mourn

If the sun yields to the night when it’s falling down
Who was I, no one back then, to defy the doom
Till you came along and named me after the moon
It was not mine but the big men fight

You seemed like them and yet you looked so right
The gun fire, fear had got me quiet
But we talked with the words of the heart
You’ve got arms bigger than their weapon

In the midst of hell, you made a heaven
This forgotten girl now feels like chosen
I love, I love you to the moon and back
All they know is fear and anger

Love scares them ‘coz they don’t remember
That once we were all pure and tender
I love, I love to find the white in black
Somebody tell me why they burned my home

They buried all the hope like a baby unborn
Look there is no one left there behind
Even to mourn
It was not mine but the big men fight

You seemed like them and yet you looked so right
The gun fire, fear had got me quiet
But you heard with the words of the heart
You’ve got arms bigger than their weapon

In the midst of hell, you made a heaven
This forgotten girl now feels like chosen
I love, I love you to the moon and back
All they know is fear and anger

Love scares them ‘coz they don’t remember
That once we were all pure and tender
I love, I love to find the white in black
You’ve got arms bigger than their weapon

In the midst of hell, you made a heaven
This forgotten girl now feels like chosen
I love, I love you to the moon and back
All they know is fear and anger

Love scares them ‘coz they don’t remember
That once we were all pure and tender
I love, I love to find the white in black
