Artist's Description
Title: Children of War
Theme: A powerful, urgent, and deeply moving lyric focused on the devastating impact of global conflict and political failure on the lives of innocent children. The verses use raw, vivid imagery—running from rubble, dust-filled air, and the loss of family—to build an intimate, heartbreaking narrative. The Chorus widens the scope, delivering a bold, cinematic challenge to the leadership that allows this tragedy to continue. This is a song of social commentary and emotional protest.
Vocal & Style: This material is perfect for an artist with a sincere, emotive voice capable of conveying deep sorrow and righteous anger. The verses call for a focused, vulnerable delivery, while the Chorus demands a sweeping, anthemic, and dramatic vocal build. The Bridge provides a powerful moment of reflection before the final, haunting question in the Outro.
Pace & Genre Suitability: This lyric structure and heavy theme make it highly suitable for a slow, powerful easy listening ballad or a mid-tempo narrative Country or Folk track. The pace must be deliberate and heavy, allowing the weight of the words and the dramatic tension of the story to fully resonate with the listener.

[Verse 1]
The laughter is now replaced by sad sounds you hear,
For children caught in war, living in fear.
No more bedtime stories, no soft songs to sing,
Just a terror on the face of every young thing.
[Hook]
Run, little children! There's nothing left here!
Only shattered memories of what was once dear.
[Chorus]
Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone,
No way to go back, the fighting moves on.
When everyone has nukes and buttons are pressed,
If everyone dies, then who cares who is best?
[Verse 2]
Now small feet are running, from blasts they take flight,
In broken-down houses, there is no light; dust-filled air turns the day into night.
They used to run to their daddy, when he walked through the door,
Now running from rubble, from echoes of family no more.
[Hook]
Run, little children, into the night!
Don't look back and stay out of sight!
[Chorus]
Cause the talks have all failed, the peace is now gone,
No way to go back, the fighting moves on.
When everyone has nukes and buttons are pressed,
If everyone dies, then who cares who is best?
[Bridge]
A loud boom, a bright flash; safe places all vanish, dreams turn to ash.
The world holds its breath as some of those children take their last,
The others' futures are broken, from a shadow now cast.
All the innocent suffer, stuck in these fights,
Cause leaders clash hard, and walk away as they turn out the lights.
[Outro]
What about the children, so helpless and small?
The burden they will carry, as they watch it all fall.
Watch it all fall...
What about the children?
The children... of war.
