about

On January The 12th, 2015, in Mosul, IRAQ, ISIS jihadists publicly executed 13 teenage boys for watching a soccer match. This song is dedicated to those young, innocent victims.

lyrics

When I was a child, soccer was my life
And if I knew I could play, I'd gladly go to school
And they were not all rosy at that time
(but) as long as we could play we were cool

This was the happiest thing
that could happen in my little life


May children play and be happy
that's the way it should be
Iraqi children should be happy
such a simple truth to see

And they woke up to a nightmare,
and didn't wake up any more
Their favorite game had become
Assassin for sure!


Today I'm old and wise, soccer is unfit
And if I know I can play, I gladly sing a sad song
And they are not all rosy today
(but) as long as they could watch they were cool

This is the worst thing that
could ever happen, children murdered for nothing
