I Stand Alone
I stand alone in the dusty wind,
I've been left out there, stranded from people's grins,
I stood alone for many years now
Watching the cars pass by my ground
Dust fills my eyes some days
Yet I wipe them away
Abandonement betrayed my deal
For I should've had people within me
It shook the bones that held me upright
Shivers trespassing my soldier's bars, once where they held so tight
Not a single soul has greeted me
Thus I am now the watcher which never flees
Whitles of emptiness fill my walls
For they are the music I play to waltz
They are my friends reminding me again and again
Of the magnificent purpose I was once built for
Showing me how strong I am
By a simple song from an old clam
Here I am standing alone in the dusty wind
Stranded from people's grins
I stood and shall remain standing on the Itihad Road
For I am the tall building saluting you, O passing by, in the corner's cold
