I Still Remember

Baby steps
Eyes that trace
Darkness etched on a stranger's face
Asking me to know my place
A thousand nights
But I still remember

Father's pride, mother's joy
We watch our words
As we play with toys
Preserving peace, long destroyed
And we know this

Where were you
When the floods rolled in
Where were you
When the walls caved in
Tell me where were you
When the dogs ran through
Where were you
But you call me crazy

Who should I call
The rescuer is chasing me
Where can I fall
Piles of bodies in the streets
Where do I go
I can hardly ever see
Ever see

Fathers ache, mothers toil
The earth was scorched
They stole the soil
So every limb extends the dream
All mountains conquered
They live in me

Where were you
When the floods rolled in
Where were you
When the walls caved in
Tell me where were you
When the dogs ran through
Where were you
But you call me crazy

Where were you
When the sun refused to rise
Did you not see the tears hadn't dried
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you
So just call me crazy

Yet joy will rise
And faith will speak
Colours never run
Even when we're weak
Seeing good where it
Refused to grow
Gathered water
So that blessings flow
Yet we're still scared to open the door

Where were you
When the floods rolled in
Where were you
When the walls caved in
Tell me where were you
When the dogs ran through
Where were you
But you call me crazy

Where were you
When the sun refused to rise
Did you not see the tears hadn't dried
Where were you
Where were you
Where were you
So just call me crazy

Baby steps
Eyes that trace
Darkness etched on a stranger's face
Asking me to know my place
A thousand nights
I still remember
