In January of 2016, we travelled to the Kurdish region of Turkey along with Clowns Without Borders to play for children. We played for a group of Yezidi refugees in their camp, who had fled ISIS in Iraq; for a group of Kurdish children in Diyarbakir; and for children living in the village of Dargeçit which had been under an imposed curfew and siege from the Turkish Army. This song is about the children we met on that trip.

A year later, many of the folks in towns under siege lost their homes. Over 100,000 Kurdish folks in southeastern Turkey lost their homes in 2016. The Yazidi camp was closed down, and many who lived there are now in worse conditions in major cities across Turkey and Iraq.
