Mama… where did it go?
My playground… I don’t know…

I woke up and heard a sound
People running all around
Holding tight my teddy bear
Why’s there fear inside the air?

Where are all the kids I know?
Why can’t I go down below?

Boom… I hear it again
Close your eyes and count to ten

Where is my playground?
Where did the laughter go?
I hear the sirens loud
But I just want to know

Why do we hide here?
Why do we run away?
I don’t know what war means
I just want to play

Mama holds me, whispers low
“We’ll be safe, just stay close”
But I miss the sun outside
And my friends I used to find

Where is my playground?
Where did the laughter go?
I hear the sirens loud
But I just want to know

Why do we hide here?
Why do we run away?
I don’t know what war means
I just want to play

Play… play…

Mama… no more boom?
Can we go outside soon?

Where is my playground?
I know it’s not too far
Behind the noise and fear
There’s still a shining star

We won’t be hiding
We won’t be afraid
The world will turn to laughter
And we will go and play

Mama… I see the sun…
Can we go now?
Can we run?
