Amal

she stood she stood strong she did not run
she remained
and while i bowed and ran she just grabbed my hand with a smile on her face as the bombs rained.
she stood she stared deep in my eyes and said 'do not be afraid it will be okay'

Do not be afraid. Do not be afraid. (4x)

it was her birthday today and she refused to bow to the smart violence swarming,
i stood & stared in shock & awe at the hope no violence could tame

Her name is, her name is, her name is (3x)
Her name is Amal.
