Happy Children

You know I wont ask forgiveness for the things I haven’t done

The wars, the fighting’s over, each one has lost a son

Did we know as we laughed together

That time would bring this toll

Were we just happy children far too long

 

So brother take my hand for the last time

Mother, take my hand for the last time

 

And you know know we`ve turned into islands

Defences at every sound

Into each solemn bunker the coldest winds will howl

Sadness fills the sand bags

and now measures time

We were just happy children for way too long

 

So brother, take my hand for the last time

Dear sister, take your stand for the last time

And forget me

 

But I know its but a story told a hundred times before

The stars that burn so much brighter, only turn into black holes

So let’s celebrate the twinkle that once shone in our eyes

For we were happy children just way too long

 

So brother, take my hand for the last time

Dear sister, take your stand for the last time

Then forgive me
