"Caught In The Middle"

Suicide bombers have shattered the heart of Khost city
There is no escaping this war for us and that's a pity

We are tired day after day again reliving the same story
innocent people die and yet the Taliban proclaim glory

The Taliban try to convince us the westerners are a curse
but for the city of Khost the Taliban have become worse

As Muslims and Pashtuns of our own death we have no fear
but we worry for all those we love and who we hold dear

Now we all wonder who will live and who will die every day
Helpless and caught in the middle of war we can only pray
