Jaafar – Sixteen lyrics
Rise then fall, surely as a man-made wall risen in a time of war
Is all she’s ever known
Layla grew up playing in the streets
Fired rounds cut the bottom of her feet
She’s only sixteen going on seventeen
Waking, living in a bad dream
Sixteen going on seventeen
She tries
She’s only sixteen going on seventeen
Eighteen, Is only in her fantasy
Sixteen going on seventeen
She tries
She’s only sixteen
Eyes that don’t ever see the light lose hope, but every single day she
Prays for a better tomorrow
Faith leads to all possibilities
In the night she dreams of freedom and of peace
She’s only sixteen
Out of sight
Another number on a headline
Is all she’s ever known
Layla grew up playing in the streets
Fired rounds cut the bottom of her feet
She’s only sixteen going on seventeen
Waking, living in a bad dream
Sixteen going on seventeen
She tries
She’s only sixteen going on seventeen
Eighteen, Is only in her fantasy
Sixteen going on seventeen
She tries
She’s only sixteen
Eyes that don’t ever see the light lose hope, but every single day she
Prays for a better tomorrow
Faith leads to all possibilities
In the night she dreams of freedom and of peace
She’s only sixteen
Out of sight
Another number on a headline
