this is not art
not even a song
it is not news
nor a story
it's just a burden
unloaded
no!
it is a wound
bleeding
i can feel it bleeding
and it hurts so bad
"your silence is killing us"
people are shouting this
people of a land called syria
do you know where it is?
i don't live there
i don't even understand their language
but i'm bleeding with them
and it hurts so bad
"your silence is killing us"
people are shouting this
men, women and children
who are surrounded by guns
who are falling
one by one
guns!
you don't know the people
but you know the guns
these guns are not aimed at you
so you can say something
i know how it feels
when you shout
as all keep silent
i know how it feels
when guns are aimed at you
as all keep silent
i know how it feels
when you fall
as all keep silent
i know
and it hurts so bad
sorry if i broke your
colorful noisy silence
my heart is wounded
and it hurts so bad
.
Too many wounds to count these days... and so many guns pointed at too many people who just want what so many take for granted. I think there are many who hear them, but they don't know how to help them.
