I come and stand at every door
<song>
But no one hears my silent tread
I come and stand at every door
I knock and yet remain unseen
But no one hears my silent tread
For I am dead, for I am dead.
I knock and yet remain unseen
For I am dead, for I am dead.


I'm only seven although I died
I'm only seven although I died
In ancient cities long ago
In ancient cities long ago
I'm seven now as I was then
I'm seven now as I was then
When children die they do not grow.
When children die they do not grow.


The last I saw was fell Vallorn
The last I saw was fell Vallorn
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind
Death came and turned my bones to dust
Death came and turned my bones to dust
And that was scattered by the wind.
And that was scattered by the wind.


I need no sleep, I need no breath
I need no sleep, I need no breath
I need no fruit, nor even bread
I need no fruit, nor even bread
I ask for nothing for myself
I ask for nothing for myself
For I am dead, for I am dead.
For I am dead, for I am dead.


All that I ask is that for peace
All that I ask is that for peace
You fight today, you fight today
You fight today, you fight today
So that the children of this world
So that the children of this world
May live and grow and laugh and play.
May live and grow and laugh and play.
</song>

I Come and Stand at Every Door Original lyrics by Nazim Hikmet


I come and stand at every door But no one hears my silent tread I knock and yet remain unseen For I am dead, for I am dead.

I'm only seven although I died In ancient cities long ago I'm seven now as I was then When children die they do not grow.

The last I saw was fell Vallorn My eyes grew dim, my eyes grew blind Death came and turned my bones to dust And that was scattered by the wind.

I need no sleep, I need no breath I need no fruit, nor even bread I ask for nothing for myself For I am dead, for I am dead.

All that I ask is that for peace You fight today, you fight today So that the children of this world May live and grow and laugh and play.
