Stefanie Haertel

No war, no cry

It has been quite dark here
All around me and inside me.
I’m not walking anymore,
 I’m creeping.
I’m not looking straight on my way
I’m looking down.
Silence is in me and around me.
Everything is sad and grey.
I’m just half the person that I used to be.
 
 
When I touch it
It gets lost.
When I look at it
It gets hidden.
I’ve nowhere to run to
And I have no sense of running anymore. 
 
Good friends we’ve hurt
Good friends we’ve lost.
Gold, oil and land
For pain of losing family.
Is the world still spinning round?
 
I’m just a young girl
Lost in-between this hell on earth.
Caught in the darkest night.
What can I do?
I sit with my head in my hands
And cry.
 
 
Chorus:
No war, no cry
Everybody is somebody’s daughter
Everybody is somebody’s son.
No war, no cry
I don’t want history repeat itself again and again.
No war, no cry
So speak up until you’re heard
No war, no cry
Love will know right from wrong.
 
But I remember
I cannot only speak for myself,
I must speak for the ones who have no voice
For the forgotten ones.
So I stand up
And raise my voice
Untill the bitter end.
 
 
 
I´m alive
But I´m not sure that I´m living.
This is a nightmare
I cannot stand.
My heart is sick
My soul, too.
Since I knew I lost you
I have nothing to live for,
I almost broke down and cried.
I shout out to heaven above
But it feels like there’s none anymore.
 
 
It’s not like I’ve always been so sad
But since soldiers passed my way and fought
Since heaven broke down
I’m a lost dark angel
Who is waiting for her time on earth?
I wanna live again.
And I want you back on my side,
But what I see I what I get:
A destroyed home and broken souls.
 
Chorus
 
I see politicians who make their decisions
And who don’t care for wrong and right.
And there’s no reason good enough to justify
No speech well enough to explain.
They don’t need to tell me what to believe.
I’ve seen so much more
So don’t tell me to shut my eyes.
I’ve heard so much more
So don’t tell me to shut my ears.
 
I know the world goes round and round
And some things never change
But together we can go
Where no one else can go.
I know some things are build
To last for eternity
But together we can do
What no one else can do.
 
 
Chorus
 
 
United we stand
United we fall.
I’ve some distant memories
That it used to be alright.
And with a little hope
I shout:
 
Chorus
