Survivor’s Tales

I’m a survivor with battle wounds   
I’m an orphan from the bombers tools   
I’m a husband with no wife to love   
I’m a daughter with no brother’s love

We are caught between   
a Heaven and hell   
Left behind   
to deal with pain   
Never complete   
since that fateful day   
Shattered dreams, survivor’s tales 

I’m a religious with a lesser crowd   
I’m a fireman who braved the storm   
I’m a soldier who faced a hail   
I’m a doctor who was called to aid 

We are caught between   
a Heaven and hell   
Left behind to deal with pain   
Never complete   
since that fateful day   
Shattered dreams, survivor’s tales 

I’m a worshipper without a hand   
I’m a dancer with pellets in my back   
I’m a toddler with no one to hug   
I’m a father without a son 

Broken but born again   
Shattered no one can tell   
They tell us that we must love   
We pray for grace from above   
We are caught between   
Peace and pain 

We’ll try to love   
Only time will tell   
Our Shattered dreams, survivor’s tales 
We’ll let them go for peace to reign.
