Ma, please don't let me slip away,
I've got so much to see, so many things to change.
Didn't you tell me, I would always be safe in your everlasting arms?
Then why is my soul being torn apart?
I don't want to leave this world so soon,
Please Ma, I've got so much to see, so many things to change.
I didn't see what happened,
Why am I in so much pain?
Did I do something wrong, that I shouldn't do again?
Save me Ma, I've got so much to see, so many things to change.
Why are you crying Ma, I will never leave you!
Why are you carrying me Da? I'm old enough to walk now!
Whats that red stain on your shirt? Did I ruin it and how?
Why am I bleeding Da, I don't want to die!
Don't let me go! I've got so much to see, so many things to change.
I can feel my body pass away,
There's nothing I can hear, nothing I can say.
Just know, I love you Ma and I love you Da.
I wish I had a little more time,
I had so much to see, so many things to change.
In memory of the 132 students who passed away in the barbaric siege of a school in Peshawar, Pakistan on 16th December, 2014.
