When the road is uneven
And you feet can walk no more
Ill pick you up and hold you
Until you’re home at last.

When your heads a minefield
And everything’s a mess
Ill untie your broken strings
And lay them out to rest.
Nine months of waiting, to feel your tiny hand.
Wrapped around my finger, when you join this land.
Not knowing whats ahead, but knowing I’ll meet you.
Makes everything worthwhile, all that we’ve been through.

I do not know you yet, are you stubborn, are you strong?
Whoever you choose to be, in my eyes you’ll do no wrong.
So close your eyes my son, and I’ll kiss you goodnight.
Know that ill be watching over, so let your dreams take flight.
Loss of limb, loss of life, the words we dread are spoken.
And all we know that came before fades out, so black, so broken.
Our inner demons **** and poke at questions yet proposed.
For answers though we need them, can we stay composed?
What evil dwells upon this earth? What terror lies in store?
But we must not fear too deeply, for there are things to still adore.
The sunrise in the morning, a sign from close ones up above.
We will fight until our dying breath, for beauty, truth and love.
So come at us with your war and hate, united we will stand.
For this is our country, no more bloodshed on our land.

— The End —
