  promises

too long we wore the night
on our body, our face
now we’ll stand up at every place
and we will fight.

too far we carried fate
on our shoulders, on our top
now we will stop
and finally dump our hate.

there’s no way out
we’ll loudly shout,
and then, the more you close your eyes,
the better you will hear our cries.

we’re deeply hit,
with every breath we die a bit ,
but we will never stop to pray
until we’ll get a brand new day.

So you, in comfort and security,
start listening, take a look at me.

(at this point, I really regret my imperfect knowledge of the english language.. I'm sorry, but I simply had to write a few words!
With my best wishes, Eva)
