The Longest Day

Take my hand now

I will lead you far away

From our homeland

To a place we shall not stay

But for moments

Until your crying fades

And the haunting

Of all those who paid

Hold your mother's memory

She was always there for you

But now she's gone

The longest day, will it ever end

How long can men behave this way

The longest day has taken our loves

How long can wars remain

The morning sun rose

As it did like yesterday

A day like others

Until the bombs fell our way

My son and wife died

And left our small hometown in flames

There was no reason

To be hit by death's reign

Hold your mother's memory

She was always there for you

But now she's gone

The longest day, will it ever end

How long can men behave this way

The longest day has taken our loves

How long can wars remain

I held your hand

As you took your last breath

I could not save you

Nor my son from death

The longest day, will it ever end

How long can men behave this way

The longest day has taken our loves

How long can wars remain

The longest day, will it ever end

How long can men behave this way

The longest day has ruined our lives

Why do the wars remain
