Tara Sneed - Shattered Glass

2014-06-13 1

There was a time before
The loud and earthshaking war
When some remembered
When all was peaceful
The birds chirping in their trees

There was a time before
The planes came and the bombs landed
The children ran and the families scattered

All was lost
For there was no hope
When the soldiers came
And seized the throne

We all had nothing
We started with nothing
We end with nothing

The world was shattered
The world was broken
Who knows how many lives were taken
We've lost it all, yet we have it all
And as one, we'll start again.
