FALLS THE SHADOW
Under the sun
The bright beautiful son
Falls the shadow
The light in your eyes
Is clouded with tears
Under this shadow
We've lost our home
Now forced to live
In the shadows
This is the way
This is the way our world ends
I search the horizon
You search my eyes
I can not tell you why the sun disappeared
And fate forced us to pick up and run
There's no news on all those left behind
There's no news on the fate of our son
Under the sun falls the shadow
This is the way
This is the way our world ends
Rumors in camp
Of peace and safety
Rumors of battle
Fear casts its shadow
The light in your eyes
Is cloudy with tears
Under this shadow
Now news that our son is dead
The sun will not shine again
In these eyes
In this tent
Under this shadow
Forever, this tent, in the shadows
This is the way
This is the way our world ends
With a whimper, not a bang
I can not tell you why our son is dead
And fate forced us to pick up and run
I dismiss all words of hope like swatting flies from food
We're millions and millions
Faceless, nameless millions
Millions and millions more
Faceless, nameless millions
UNHCR, UNICEF, the USA, the EU, anyone?
I search the horizon
You search my eyes
My cloudy eyes
My darkened eyes
Under the sun falls the shadow
This is the way
This is the way our world ends
