aftermath

I hear the sound of dissonance
the cries of children rising
from deep within the earth, trembling
save us, Lord, save us

I hear the sound of emptiness
of broken houses sinking
of lonely people wandering
help us, Lord, help us

I hear the sound of hunger
of hands stretched out waiting
and hollow eyes despairing
fill us, Lord, fill us

i hear the sound of silence
steady in the night, beating
and children under stars sleeping
heal us, Lord, heal us
