Sarajevo 1995 - City On Fire
SARAJEVO 1995 - CITY ON FIRE
In the reading of the tea leaves
from the light of candle flame,
is the vision of the coming
of more ways to stay the same.
From the smell of incense burning
and the taste of sacred wine,
is the knowing of the reason
God won't let the sun to shine.
From the praying to the candle,
in the lighted crystal ball,
is a love forever turning
and the longing for it all.
In the seeking not a reason,
but the need to see the light,
are the words forever coming
from our dark and lonely night.
There's no answer to the question
never asked but understood,
Sarajevo was a Palace
But tonight it's burning wood.
