about

This song is about how terrified the children in Iraq (and everywhere there is war) must be when an airplane flies over. And how this fear ultimately breeds war. I am so grateful to live in a peaceful land and deeply pissed off that we contribute to the factors that lead to war and poverty around the world.

lyrics

Kids Are Afraid of Airplanes (Robinson c. 2008)


Kids are afraid of airplanes and the ground beneath their feet
They're are running for cover and crying in their sleep
The angels are watching with wings behind their back
And there is nothing they can do to stop the war in Iraq

Kings of kings and country men
Won't you try to understand
That the children they are are future
And not the oil in the sand

Looking at the night sky where my roof used to be
Thinking about Buddha, Allah and JC
Praying that their eyes will watch over me
And see what other's refuse to believe

Kings of kings and country men
Won't you try to understand
That the children they are are future
And not the oil in the sand

Make me a promise, make me a plan
Let's save the souls of the children, with guns in their hands
The angels are watching with wings behind their back
And there is nothing they can do to stop the war in Iraq

Kings of kings and country men
Won't you try to understand
That the children they are are future
And not the oil in the sand
