Flowers On The Wall (Ten Years After)

So let this be the end of all endings, to reap the sows of seeds of the future
For the time of the thunder and the turbid seas are no longer valid in holding on to it
And it's time to let go but still we remember, of all that is lost yet we still feel them inside
As we carve our own way through the fields of the dawning blue sky, in courage and in hope

For we're all too familiar with pain and of sadness, and to those who were there the emotion is unbearable!
But we must not think that we're all but lost islands, bereft of bridges or trusts and so forth
For the strength of humanity we'll show them no fear! To rebuild our lives and to live and let live...
As One God above us has shown us the way, and the proofs of our kind to be but much stronger...

And to this my conviction on the Pool of Reflections, I say no more games of death and much violence
For we know deep inside that this IS our Home! Regardless of how we pronounce it's the same!
So lay down your arms for at least one more day, and savour the sunshine of this early September
Amidst the sunshine and shadows our hearts and our minds, to grief one more time before we move on

For the dawn is but breaking for another new day, a moment of joy and remembrance of bravery
For those who died so others might live, and live we shall be till that moment for us comes
And no more this black shadow of hate and revenge, for we're not the first to live on this plain
And yes we won't sit still and blissfully go by, as our children they'd know of nothing but fear...

So now let's forgive and embrace each other, in tears and in prayers of hope for the future
For when this day dies we're all that we have in us, regardless of creed or race or gender
And faith let's not terror becomes this new day, after ten dark years of hate and distrust
For we are but humans and let us be humans, to fall but still gets up and never stops living!
