Description
It's a dark day, but the light is bright
You can hear the world scream
It sounds like a waterfall
But there is no water here

People stand, staring
Like they're watching a movie star
Like when you can't believe who you see
Who did we see that day?

A mother saw her son's face
As ash filled the streets
He was never found
The ash was his grave

A wife saw her husband's face
As she watched the news report
Yelling his name at the screen
He heard her from heaven's gate

A son, tiny child, will never know his father
What's the justice here?
Will killing the perpetrators help?
Is forgiveness any kind of option?

She wakes up in the morning
Hearing her voice in her heart
She can't understand the words
But she feels their comfort now

That's not enough to change
The way she feels in her heart
A memory cannot change
The final, lasting present

It's a long road of no comfort
No one can walk it with you
Good luck on your journey, blessed friend
Remember to love yourself

Nothing is as useless as words
Unless it is silence
Even if they don't ask
I have to say it anyway
