Child
Once a vulnerable orphan living in fear,
Forced out on the barren streets,
But now he's protected in our country,
We all have hope, whatever, whenever.
Adult
A bomb detonated near my child,
Cut, bruised and grazed all over,
But medication saved his soul,
We all have hope, whatever, whenever.
Soldier
I watched my comrade get taken down,
I avenged and fought for his very own sake,
With all that might we won the war,
We have hope, whatever, whenever.
Ally Leader
We arrived at the call of help,
But watched my troops get shot down dead,
The civilians then returned the fire, a victorious combat,
We all have hope, whatever, whenever.
