Echoes of Yesterday

[Verse] In a land once full of light and gleam, Now only shadows paint the scene, The cities fallen, whispers scream, Of what was lost, and what has been. [Verse 2] The fields once green, now dirt and dust, Machines turned ash, iron turned to rust, Yet in this wreckage, faith's a must, For dreams remain, they won't combust. [Chorus] Echoes of yesterday, linger in my heart, From the ruins we will rise, to make a brand new start, In the quiet of the night, I hear the old world call, But the future beckons bright, for survivors one and all. [Verse 3] I walk through streets where children played, Their laughter gone, the price we paid, But hopes and dreams, they never fade, In broken earth, new seeds are laid. [Verse 4] I close my eyes, the past unfolds, The love, the life, the stories told, In shattered towns, new paths I mold, With strength and will, my heart stays bold. [Chorus] Echoes of yesterday, linger in my heart, From the ruins we will rise, to make a brand new start, In the quiet of the night, I hear the old world call, But the future beckons bright, for survivors one and all.
