Syria: I Stand By You

 

I can see your eyes cry
Full of tears that I want to wipe
I can feel you heart sigh
Vanish into the cold night

Syria! My heart cries for you
As I watch your country burn
Syria! My eyes are wet for you
As I hear your cries in the sun

With every breath that you take
I know that you pray
I too stand with you for your sake
And I too pray

Syria! Land of boundless beauty
I wish you freedom
Syria! Land of my friends
I pray for your freedom

Light a candle in the night
Burn it the rise of dawn
Let the fire catch the night
Air; Will burn like the sun

Syria! Land of those people
I stand by you
Syria! Land of my home!
I stand for you

Syria! When will I come home
Safe from all harm?!
Syria! I stand before God:
And ask for Freedom!!!
