Healing

On that fateful day

When the old order was brought down

We all came face to face with death

In a series of strange events

I was sitting in a crowded room

With a view over the old town

The reactions to what happened

Kept us all in suspense

The morning after

The air smelled so different

The streets were calm

No people in sight

I could only think about those

That were innocent

Those just getting by

With no stakes in the fight

It all fell down

Before our eyes

It hit the ground

A thousand souls cried

How do we remember

How can we move on

We fall down on our knees

Asking how can we heal

We fall down on our bare knees

Asking how can we heal

Remember the innocent and the weak

And how the city used to be alive

Light a candle and pray for our souls

To heal you have to give it a try

And we heal by sticking together

Not letting the demons get the better

Of us

Anymore

We heal by letting the light in

By not getting fooled again

No more

Of their dirty war
