Maya Lyrics

On earth for eleven years

Surrounded by violence

Her family forced to run away

Disturbing scenes they replay

Neighborhood bombed out again

No school for another year

Rocket blast she never shudders

Lost her sister and two cousins

Her eyes are so cold

She hardly ever says a word

But we still sit listen

She struggles to cope

Thinking she will never ever be free

Cause her minds in a prison

Maya

Your cries are so silent

Oh oh

Maya

No fear no more violence

No no no no no

Poppa died when she was only one

And five when they had to flee

Three more times they left their dwelling

To find safety from bombs and shelling

The loud sound of a sonic jet

Doesn't drown out all the screams

Other countries they must scatter

Where children play and there is laughter

The walked a long road

To somewhere faraway from there

For her mind to recover

Let the truth be told

She's still afraid to lay her head

But glad she's with her momma

Maya

Your cries are so silent

Oh oh

Maya

No fear no more violence

No no no no no

I wish I knew what to say

Tell me wha I can do

You weren't given a choice

You don't need to roam anymore

You'll never be alone anymore

Maya, Maya

Maya

Your cries are so silent

Maya

No more fear no more violence

Maya

Your cries are so silent

Oh oh

Maya

No more fear no more violence

No no no no no
