| I died on foreign soil | I died in my mother’s womb | |
| It was my choice to go | It was not my choice to go | |
| It could have been avoided | It could have been avoided | |
| I was so close to going home | I was so close to being born | |
| It was a surgical strike | It was a surgical strike | |
| I never saw it coming | I never saw it coming | |
| I was completely dismembered | I was completely dismembered | |
| I was stuffed in a bag | I was stuffed in a bag | |
| I’ll never see my parents again | I’ll never see my parents | |
| I died for the freedom of others | I died for the freedom of others | |
| I have a permanent grave | I have an unknown grave | |
| My name is honored in stone | I do not have a name | |
| I am the product of a violent society |
I am the product of a violent society |
|
| I am remembered by a few... | I am remembered by a few... | |
| ...and they pray that this needless killing will stop | ...and they pray that this needless killing will stop |
