The Lyrics will tell ya the story of this one. But lets just say surviving tragedy and forging on.
lyrics
They said “whats can we do to ease your pain?”
I said “change this sun to pouring rain,
And show me a good reason to go on.”
The kids are crying every night.
I tell them everything will be alright,
But that’s not what I really do believe.
Oh we’ll keep going on,
As long as our lights keep burn’n strong,
But let me say, those bastards are going to pay.
Can’t read the paper or watch tv.
You know it all just kill’n me,
Sp many people just ripped out of our lives.
I see your face in everything,
Can’t seem to sleep or eat a thing,
I miss you baby, I miss you so much it hurts.
Goodbye my sweet, sweet love,
I’ll watch you in the stars above
But anyway, the bastards are gonna pay.
Things are getting pretty weird,
Just waiting for the smoke to clear,
And pick up the pieces, the pieces of our lives.
People starting to come around,
But there is no cipro to be found,
And no one knows whats gonna be a year from now.
One thing I know, is that its all changed
All our lives have been re-arranged,
But note Today those bastards are going to pay.
