|
Bewildered by silence |
|
Stuck by its questions and lucid ways to make us aware |
|
I did not know how cruel that could be |
|
That so many cases will never be solved |
|
That so many stories will never be told |
|
I did not know how cruel that could be |
|
Fighting a war that rages inside |
|
The world can't see the hate that burns in there |
|
How can we face what lies beneath, |
|
If we just fear and don't fight back? |
|
How many questions left unanswered? |
|
How many tears and inner strength shall we need? |
|
How any times can we encounter this again and again? |
|
How many things exist that blind us? |
|
How many forms of brutal violence can we see? |
|
How many images of pain will make us numb |
|
So hard, so cruel, we fail to see, we fail to feel? |
|
So afraid, even without thecourage of despair? |
|
Fighting a war that rages inside |
|
The world can't see the hate that burns in there |
|
How can we face what lies beneath, |
|
If we just fear and don't fight back? |
|
Afraid of ourselves, arfaid to stand up |
|
I did not know how cruel that could be |
|
We failed to see, we failed to feel |
|
Still afraid, what if you love someone? |
|
What if this happened to your loved ones? |
|
What would you do if you were there at that time? |
|
What makes you act like nothing happened? |
|
Nothing's wrong, you're doing fine? |
|
What makes you think you are immune to this? |
|
What drove us so far to the edge of tolerance? |
|
If judging and accusing is so easy, then why |
|
Why still? |
|
Fighting a war that rages inside |
|
The world can't see the hate that burns in there |
|
How can we face what lies beneath, |
|
If we just fear and don't fight back? |
