The Camp

I saw children through a fence

Standing by blue canvas tents

I called to them, they move like ghosts

Gliding silent and remote

A girl whose smile was a straight lie

Looked like a creature out of time

A grey boy burned by cigarettes

Pushed his scarred hands through the fence

When I turned, and tried to run

I saw ten thousand children

Were laid in lines wrapped in white sheets

Along a godforsaken street

Ya laou kan,bisi lo na hakil

Wa'dar atir baïd

Wa abil nas, lama tchoufni ted'hak

W ma tis'alch, bledek min fin

Chakl aw loun, aw guins aw din

Mich far'in, kolina bani admin

Wala fi h'roub, wala fi bina h'doud

Fih el ard ha'a li koli nas aychin

Yeaaaah yeaaah

Salam

I prayed an angel from the clouds

Would free the children, free them, oh oh

I prayed and waited for an age

I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel from the clouds

Would free the children, free them, oh oh

I prayed and waited for an age

I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel from the clouds

Would free the children, free them, oh oh

I prayed and waited for an age

I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel from the clouds

Would free the children, free them, oh oh

I prayed and waited for an age

I waited but no angel came

I prayed an angel would come but no angel came

I prayed an angel would come but no angel came

I prayed an angel would come but no angel came

I prayed an angel would come but no angel came
