In Honor of the heroes at humble hour of humanity

In Honor of the heroes at humble hour of humanity

Oh mothers and daughters weep for joy and tears pour over man's shame
Sufferings that no man can understand for you can only bear unborn and born
Tell us more although we are deaf from noises of the excruciating loud gunfires
Tell us more for I can not see with my blind eyes but feel the warmth of your wet tears

Tell me how you face a new morning every day
Will I understand the sorrow of the mother who just lost her boy
Will I understand the pain of the mother of unconscious daughter bleeding in her arm
Tell me how you sleep every night

Oh wise mother please tell me will the tears ever stop flowing
Tell me how to open the eyes those drowned in tears
Tell me how to stop the tears
For mine tears do not stop

Oh dear mother hold me comfort me
For I am not strong as you are
Tell me no more for a while until my tears dry
Not that it will dry or I want it to dry

Oh father where have you been
Oh son where are you
I don't know son, I have been sleeping
I don't know dad, I am lost

Where have you been soldier
I don't know I was following the order
What have you done soldier
I don't know I was following the order

How do you feel soldier
Oh give me another drink and
I will tell you another story
How do you feel soldier

Oh mother tell me about the birth of the first born
I don't remember the pain of her birth
I only know the joy of their birth
Oh mother don't tell me if it is prudent to ask about death of your children
I don't know but you mustn't ask about the murder of my second born.

Oh mother will the tears ever stop flowing from mine eyes
Oh mother I can not hear through my deaf ears
Oh mother help me dry mine eyes
Tell me why I can stop tears, What will make it stop
