I Am A Jewish Boy

I am a Jewish Boy in a concentration camp
I wonder if I will survive
I hear babies screaming for their mums
I see the terrifying barbed wired looming above me
I want to go home
I am Jewish boy in a concentration camp

I pretend that it's all okay
I feel scared and afraid
I touch the rags I wear wishing they were more comfortable
I worry that I wont survive this hell
I cry for my family and friend
I am a Jewish Boy in a concentration camp

I understand that I might die
I say I am Fine but I am not
I dream of my life before the Nazi's came
I am a Jewish Boy in a concentration camp
