Lyrics:

Aylan, Aylan, Aylan
Where have you gone? What was your sin?
Sweet little angel...
What could you have possibly done?
Sweet little man...

In your passing humanity died,
Your right to live has been denied, Aylan
Sweet little man

You lost all your family, your Mom, your Brother, they're gone now too, what a tragedy, Aylan.

And do we even realize, think and comprehend,
No mother would put her child on a boat, unless the sea was safer than the land

How could the sea be the only home for the homeless?
Every drop in the ocean is a tear of shame for the tearless,
They flee our bombs, and die before our eyes,
We rain down death from land and burning skies
So many humans, with so little humanity

So many drowning, so many drowning, so many drowning in a world sinking in depravity
So many drowning, so many drowning, so many drowning, in a world sinking in depravity

Aylan, Aylan, Aylan, where have you gone?

You left our sick world, and ascended to Heaven.
