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 |
