Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

When something horrible happens there is always so much action, love, comments, coverage, support in the aftermath.. until suddenly it´s all gone and forgotten.

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

Who is gonna be the first one to forget?

When all the demonstrations have died away

and there are no news articles left

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

when no more pictures are shown on the tv

When no one has anything to say

and the event becomes dust in history

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

When the radio goes silent and still

When no one has time to pray

When we ignore action we told them we would fulfill

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

When indifference has damaged our head

and the only ones keeping the memories at bay

Are those still mourning the dead

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

When the rubble has been rebuilt

When peace has once again been displayed

and we lose track of responsibility and guilt

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

When the story does not touch us anymore

and the event seems unimportant and gray

Until it happens once more

Who is gonna be the last one to forget this day?

Will it be you or me?

Who will hold scars in their heart

that no one else wants to see
