Artist's Description
The song’s genre is best described as an indie pop/ballad, and the soul of the song is a cry for help that tugs hard at your emotions. The song builds on a child’s plea to the world for help, followed by betrayal, which results in death as the world looks away, exposing the cowardice of our leaders. The melody is haunting, led by a piano and an acoustic guitar, with powerful vocals conveyed with a tremor of vulnerability, belting out the lyrics set to a slow, lamenting tempo.

A Childhood Erased

[Verse 1]
I saw my reflection in her tears, and a strangers face
I was covered in a hundred wounds, and a childhood erased
So brothers and sisters show that you care
Don’t leave me to fade

[Refrain]
From the streets of Gaza

[Verse 2]
I crawled amongst the many, ’til my body ached
I listened for their voices, and was deafened by their silence
I felt screams in my head, and the choking of my lungs
I’d become a number, marked by a snipers' turn

[Chorus 1]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
As we're told to look away

[Verse 3]
Is there an angel, that can save me
Or is it me alone, as my body fails me
A land within a cage,
A paradise within a dream;
And a gun that seals them in

[Chorus 2]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
As we're told to look away

[Chorus 3]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
As we're told to look away




[Verse 4]
Dusk has fallen, and I’m fading away
To empty promises, meant to save me
So embrace me mother, with your loving self
Another child anointed; another added to the Martyr’s list

[Chorus 4]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
As we're told to look away

[Chorus 5]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
As we're told to look away

[Verse 5]
With the dawning of a new day
The world awakens to its shame
Of a Killer and a truth, that it’s happening again

[Outro]
From the streets of Gaza
A childhood erased, and a life forgotten
