16th December, the dark day in the history of Pakistan. Peshawar massacre 2014 the heart breaking incident in which 144 lives came to an end. 144 children went to the school and never came back. The 144 houses, 144 stories, 144 dreams, 144 futures, and 144 souls left people behind in grieve. That attack was not just on those 144 children but it was on the hearts of 20 crore people of Pakistan. This pain was not just felt by Pakistan but by every person of the world who had humanity in his/her heart. We can't bring those children back, we can't lower the pain of their families, we can't stop the tears of their beloved ones but we can stand up against this attack as a nation. They used weapons to stop us, we'll use a pen to drop them. The lamp they burnt with their blood will not be wasted. This lamp will spread its brightness to remove obscuration. We'll prove that they can't stop us, we are fighters and we will fight till our last breath to have a peaceful and educated Pakistan. " Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to change the world " We want to give tribute to those 144 children and their families by this beautiful song.
