Bring Home Liam Ramos

Bring home Liam Ramos He’s just a child, not a war You don’t build a nation stronger By leavin’ kids on a cold floor

Verse 1
There’s a light that never shuts off
In a room made outta stone
A little boy’s countin’ shadows
Tryin’ not to feel alone
He didn’t cross no battlefield
Didn’t break no law he knows
He just woke up one mornin’
And they took him from his home

Chorus
Bring home Liam Ramos
He’s just a child, not a war
You don’t build a nation stronger
By leavin’ kids on a cold floor
If mercy still means somethin’
If justice still has a name
Bring home Liam Ramos
And don’t call this pain “the game”

Verse 2
They talk about invasions
Like they’re talkin’ ‘bout a fight
But it’s a five-year-old cryin’
Under fluorescent light
They call it duty, call it order
Call it keepin’ us “secure”
But there ain’t nothin’ ‘bout a cage
That ever made a country pure

Chorus
Bring home Liam Ramos
Don’t dress up cruelty as law
There ain’t no threat in a teddy bear
Curled up against a wall
If we still know right from wrong
If we still feel shame
Bring home Liam Ramos
And stop sacrificin’ children to power and fear

Bridge
Every war needs an enemy
Every lie needs a face
But you don’t get to steal a childhood
Just to prove who’s in control of the place

Final Chorus (stripped back)
Bring home Liam Ramos
Say his name out loud
History’s listenin’ right now
And it’s not impressed with how
We traded love for language
And mercy for a claim
Bring home Liam Ramos
Or we’ll all wear the blame

Outro
There’s a light that never shuts off
But it shouldn’t be that way
Bring that child back home tonight
Before the rest of us forget how to pray
