Sandy Hook

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
