Tears on the Sand

[Verse] Dust rises, the sun bleeds on the horizon, Children cryin’, dreams dyin’, hope’s in hiding. Concrete crumbles, sky lit with thunder, Every breath stolen, makes me sit and wonder. Walls whisper stories of lives torn asunder, Echoes of a mother—prayers drowned in the plunder. Bare feet on rubble, searching for a brother, Every grain of sand holds grief for another. [Chorus] Tears on the sand, drownin' in the sorrow, No promise of today, no faith in tomorrow. Tears on the sand, a hymn for the hollow, Lost in the night, but the pain always follows. [Verse 2] Street’s a graveyard, names etched in the wind, Each crack in the pavement a memory pinned. Kites once flew, now they tangle in the wires, Ashes paint the sky where dreams caught fire. Fathers dig deep, shovels heavy with regret, While the world spins blind, pays off its debt. The cries of the young, a melody of despair, Hope a distant echo, dissolved in the air. [Chorus] Tears on the sand, drownin' in the sorrow, No promise of today, no faith in tomorrow. Tears on the sand, a hymn for the hollow, Lost in the night, but the pain always follows.
