Silent One in the Skies

The morning is walking in its own pride
And courage is leaning by my side
The sun is rising up from the east
 and fire is burning in the belly of the beast
Morning is shining all over the place
And the evening sun is melting their faces

Strange things are happening in town
And the multitude is moving around
With bags on backs and babies
Strapped to their mother’s bosom
And young children holding on
to their mother’s frock.

I don’t know where they are going
But they are moving, the birds on the line
Are bidding them goodbye as
They hurry to board the express train

One family struggle in the crowd
dragging the overweight
   Suit case on the ground
Leaving more than  years of their life
Behind them hoping that life in the new
place will treat them kind as they battle
with the unknown on their mind.

There is movement everywhere and
It cause the people to fear.
No one knows what is happening
But all that they can see
Is the universe moving with the sea
And the sun is running in front of it.

Oh silent one in the sky
Come and minister to my
Soul before my spirit dies

The circumstances around me
 is draining my energy, there is no place
to abide  here for chaos is everywhere in the
street and it is disrupting my heart beat

The skies have turned blue and the sun is in full swing
But something under the heavens makes me want to sing
There is no time to think so leave that place before the
The earth starts to blaze; smoke is bellowing from the other side
And there isn’t enough time, grab what you can find and run
Before you perish from the heat in the earth and the energy
Radiating from the burning sun


Oh silent one in the sky
Come and help us before
The earth opens its  boiling gut.
