She weeps, her head covered
Teeth broken, ground dust surrounds her
There's a leaf on the sidewalk. It flutters
Her city consumed in a wall of fire
Remember to breathe
Though there's risk in the air
Perhaps you were meant in this moment to stand
Raise your voice
Reach out your hand
No strength or desire
To get up and start to rebuild
A small hole in the clouds, there's a sun break
A choice. Say thanks for a small bit of warmth
Remember to breathe
Though there's risk in the air
Perhaps you were meant in this moment to stand
Raise your voice
Reach out your hand
Her eyes looking eastward
To the mountains surrounding the city
Can she gather a faith if it's splintered?
She waits. She walks. One step at a time
