about
Parents in the Warsaw Ghetto mourned the loss of their children's innocence while trying to provide comfort in the face of dire conditions. Now Jewish parents in America struggle to tell this tragic history, cautiously hoping and praying that these hateful actions will never be repeated.
lyrics
Parents locked in Warsaw’s cage
When rage of black boots clattered
Tried to tend their girls and boys
The ones who truly mattered
Mothers told the truth to them
Why food supplies ran dry
That mothers had no appetite
Sons knew this was a lie
Crawling through the cracks of wall
Boys smuggled at age six
Breadwinners for the families
Dinner through the bricks
Parents feared their famished girls
Whose waists were growing small
Would never dream a wedding gown
Now shrouded in a shawl
Recounting hate
Dreading fate
When childhood is lost
All pay the mortal cost
The price of hate
Fathers trapped in Warsaw’s maze
When truth was frayed and tattered
Tried to guard their girls and boys
The ones who truly mattered
Mothers weigh with heavy hearts
Bread they must divide
Rationed hopes and promises
To themselves they cried
Recounting hate
Dreading fate
When childhood is lost
All pay the mortal cost
The price of hate
As Jews here in America
We dread what we must tell
To children who are innocent
We serve a slice of hell
We pray it doesn’t happen here
Or start up once again
We guard our words and gauge our tone
As we say Amen
Recounting hate
Breaking fate
When childhood was lost
All paid the heavy cost
The price of hate
(repeat)
We say it couldn’t happen here
Or start up once again
We guard our words and gauge our tone
And pray it’s true, Amen
