Sandy Hook
Location
There’s a silence
All around me
On the mountains
In the clouds
As I listen
To the raindrops
I start to wonder
About the sound
Warm teardrops
Cross my cheek
Slowly burning
Down my smile
Cold thunder
In my soul
I think it’s staying
For a while
Twenty shadows
Slowly fading
Is my reflection
Still around
I lay a pillow
In my hometown
To help their sleeping
And give them warmth
I lay a locket
With their grave stones
And hold onto the hope
That the simplest sound is the scratching of their key
Six wonders
Stand protecting
Little shadows
Little hearts
Slowly shaking
Facing horrors
Still protecting
And holding out
Valerosos almas
Of SANDY HOOK
Batiendo corazones
Still coaxing hope
Written on my hand
Is a direct reminder of your home
The one that you lost
The one that your parents lay alone
Are they still living
Will they ever forgive
They won’t ever forget
Why they’re now just existing
I won’t ask you to move one
Or to stop shedding tears
Because that’d be too easy
In these elongated years
There’s two ways to live a life
One’s as if nothing’s a miracle
I’d rather act as if everything is
Because a single smile hold a thousand tears
A thousand laughs
A thousand fears
SANDY HOOK
You’ll live on for years
