Nobody Knows How They Feel

nobody knows how they feel as bodies glide and float down the street
nobody knows how they feel when they clothes are torn and their pants 
to their heels nobody knows how they feel when their world stops and all

stand still nobody knows how they feel when families are lost and torn apart
separated some feel lost some feel jaded how could this be why did this happen
to me all I have is gone what can I do how can I go on 

We must look to the hills and pray for hope love and a brighter day
we must stop tearing down our own walls we must hold each other and
stand tall we must help the young we must help the old we must stand

together and console one another we must stop the hate and volence
for peace for nobody knows how they feel lost in a storm that time
can only heal.

Excellent thoughts, right thinking, google quotes from the Dali lama and see how right YOU are. Check the spelling on violence. Light & Love Debbie
