I´m sorryA Poem by JohannaI'm sorry you died last night I´m sorry your family got the call I'm sorry they stole your life For no reason at allI'm sorry you died last night I´m sorry your family got the call I'm sorry they stole your life For no reason at all I know you wanted to grow old See every exotic place They hit us hard and cold We all thought that you were safe There is a stream of candlelight On the ground where you fell down There is blue, red and white For you all over town Everyone's talking about you You didn't know all of them People walked down the avenue Singing the national anthem You were just here Nothing of this makes sense They´ve captured each tear With a big camera lens The headlines are bold Everyone wants to know If it's true what they're told If hatred can reach this low Soon your name will be known And they'll put flowers down Stand by the memorial stone One year from now You didn't deserve this The bullets from these men Now they´ll always miss Since you are in heaven Only days have past It seems like a nightmare We lost you so fast All we have now is prayer Now the nation's plan how to react They don't really know what to do There´s nothing but hatred behind the attack and nothing will bring back you Minutes of silence, a red rose For you and those left behind New stories about heroes That in times of crisis were kind How we will recover from this No one can envision yet But we will take back Paris and we´ll never forget I'm so sorry you died last night I hope you see us here below Our flowers and candles won´t make it alright But I just thought that you should know© 2016 Johanna |
