Surrounded

All around
Surrounded
Death and darkness
Surrounded
Loneliness
Surrounded
Invasion
Surrounded
Hail Hitler
Surrounded
Concentration camps
Surrounded
Soldiers
Surrounded
No more family
Surrounded
No more light
Surrounded
No escape
Surrounded
They took my schwinn
Surrounded
And it was mine
Surrounded
Forced us to move
Surrounded
From our Jewish homes
Surrounded
With their brilliant yellow stars
Surrounded
By hunger and defeat
Surrounded
But not by shame
Surrounded
They can take all
Surrounded
My material things
Surrounded
But one thing they can’t take
Surrounded
Is my faith
Surrounded
