The Echoes of Pain

Leaders of the world, what happened to all your promises? You spoke of hope, your painted skies

serene. But now I see the faces, tiny hands that reach in vain.

And all I hear are echoes lost in pain. The flags still wave, but the truth's

a broken song. We counted on you, now our hearts are hanging on. Where's the love

you swore would light the way? We're drowning in the words you didn't say.
