Barrett

laughter came so easy
upon that christmas day
simple prayers answered
as you'd come to find your way

i'd held you as a child
and taught you the word ' no'
to read between the lines 
when there's nowhere else to go

from running in the park
to just sitting on the stoop
it seemed that time raced on 
til it caught you in a loop

did you find the answer
in the music that you wrote
a drum beat for a melody
in a time that's now remote

can the world we're in now
ever know what has been lost
sun has set on christmas day
without you, at such a cost

Ny Ny

hopes dreams crashed that day
upon our city streets
childrens hearts blessed with peace
awaken to a war drum beat

shuffling through the ashes
mixed with all our tears
drifting for the open seas
at rest now without fears

love and prayers for those now gone
and who so suffered on that day
casualties in a war not yours
but in a world thats lost its way

try to hope with dreams again
on these dusted city streets
newly forged in blind white fire
the wiser childs heart now beats
