Hiding, whispering, watching
Through peephole in the wall
Wondering what has happened,
And when the next will fall
Darkness, it surrounds the room
Of concrete, dust, and wood
Huddling up to stay alive
And hoping life's still good
Shhh and quiet is all that's there
Nobody knows of this place
Through bombs and searches, it stays still
Like the turtle in a race
Games are played in soft delays
The writing soon begins
Which through the years...continue
Until the telltale end
For on that cloudy, forgotten day
The strangers came so fast
And in the quiet hiding place
Comes chaotic sounds at last
All at once, the room is still
But sound of breathing, not
For through the days of terror,
It's quiet place is caught
A as the months flew by in vain
It soundly stays the same
Until a man picked up the book
That brought the world to shame
Inside lay the journey hard
The tears, the laughs, the cries
The story traveled through the world
And opened up its eyes
This simple book, so worn and torn
For everyone to see
was written by a girl named Anne
A child like you and me
Through peephole in the wall
Wondering what has happened,
And when the next will fall
Darkness, it surrounds the room
Of concrete, dust, and wood
Huddling up to stay alive
And hoping life's still good
Shhh and quiet is all that's there
Nobody knows of this place
Through bombs and searches, it stays still
Like the turtle in a race
Games are played in soft delays
The writing soon begins
Which through the years...continue
Until the telltale end
For on that cloudy, forgotten day
The strangers came so fast
And in the quiet hiding place
Comes chaotic sounds at last
All at once, the room is still
But sound of breathing, not
For through the days of terror,
It's quiet place is caught
A as the months flew by in vain
It soundly stays the same
Until a man picked up the book
That brought the world to shame
Inside lay the journey hard
The tears, the laughs, the cries
The story traveled through the world
And opened up its eyes
This simple book, so worn and torn
For everyone to see

A child like you and me
