I woke up today; the world is still the same
I thought the sun was shining but it was just a flame
The country was burning. Everything was falling apart
I tried to be brave. I tried to save some parts

Doors were falling down
Walls were smeared with black
Souvenirs eaten by fire

Feeling helpless, I cling to help
Feeling clueless, I cling to hope
With all the chaos… with all the mess
I can’t believe it’s our lives, it’s a mess
It must be a bad dream, I want to scream
Wake me up before this nightmare ends
The fire just keeps burning as it eats up my home
I’m on the ground, I can’t move, I’m numb

On a land that seems arid
Under a blue sky
She stands... meditates
Branches burdened
With yellow grief
This Autumn did not take them away.

Still here
As she was yesterday
Stubborn... Waiting...
May come winter
May rain falls
To wash down leaves that did not fall

A new tomorrow
A bird twitters
She wakes up... smiling
Same old branches
Burdened with troubles
But hope looms on the horizon
