So when the smoke and the fire of anther attack slowly drift away
|
Can anyone seem to find the appropriate words to say?
|
When the pain of loss and sudden change conjure family strife
|
Is there any hope at all for a return to normal life?
|
|
Is there solace in condolence or just deeper pain dug up?
|
The sad truth is victim's families have nothing to look forward to
|
And I'm sick of picking up the Boston Globe and seeing painful days of loss
|
Question everything without apology about the horror and the cost
|
|
Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find
|
With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat
|
And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy
|
Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life, of life
|
|
We see a new war in the offing as we're challenged by a new plight
|
It's media handle is terrorism, it's the same old ideological fight
|
The debates will rage on, are we handling this thing right?
|
Can't turn away reality, can't push it out of our mind's eye
|
|
Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find
|
With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat
|
And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy
|
Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life, of life
|
|
And civilian loss on the other side, is that something that we try to hide?
|
What about the human condition, I'm sick of all these justifications
|
Where is the real outrage? My god, there's got to be a better way
|
Is this how we solve problems? I guess we haven't really evolved much
|
|
Shards of life are left behind, no easier, kinder path to find
|
With a loss so bitter, so incomplete, with it hopes and plans crash in defeat
|
And hope is a foggy and distant memory no hope for normalcy
|
Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life
|
And cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life
|
Cling close to the legacy of loss and shards of life
