Those Left Behind

Those Left Behind Woe, the days have come undone Many people on the run Everyone fends for himself Caution stashed upon the shelf Rockets crashing, gunshot sound Where’s the peace that I had found Seeing, knowing what’s in store Conflict, fighting growing more Every day a brand new test We cannot run with all the rest Make a plan and say a prayer He’s prepared a place way over there Can you hear the family call? Resting safe behind the wall With nothing as it was before We’re always looking for the door Where friendship, safety and some rest Will get us through the latest mess We can’t buy food without the mark The days and nights are both so dark Left behind to find our way Will we live another day?
