This is "I'm sorry"
falling away from my duties as a friend
as this family deserves to be one
where do you sleep tonight
in the sanded desert land
of frightened ambiguosity
where no one dares to leave to
because this girl has woe
just woe
for the loved and lost
out there
where everyone can see the wasted
on the t.v screens
watching the kids talk tough
ready to kill and be killed
wounds struck under the iron sea
desires layed out
upon the burning flames of hate
smoke rises from the fallen ashes
where tears run down the cheeks of mothers
in the snowy winters of seasons
when children wear tacky home-made sweaters
is when the gifts stay and wait for you to come home
missing you in the summers
along side the sunflowers on the windowsill
next to the cooling cherry pies
the wind brings news of what's happening beyond our eyes
as we seek your smiles in the tainted picture frames
listening to years pass on by
waiting
We sit and wait for our brothers of war
just standing by with our hands folded
Make the promise of never forgetting
and we'll be okay here
if you're okay there
I love you big brother
I'll see you soon, with the sun in your eyes
and a smile of victorious happiness on your singing face
(a smile for you)
