We Still Sing
We still sing, we still ask,
we still dream, we still hope.
Despite the blows that the ingenuity of hatred dealt
in our lives, banishing to oblivion
our loved ones.
We still sing, we still ask,
We still dream, we still hope.
Tell us where they have hidden the flowers
that scented the streets chasing a destiny.
Where, where have they gone.
We still sing, we still ask,
We still dream, we still hope.
Give us the hope to know that it is possible
for the garden to light up with the laughter and singing
of those we love so much.
We still sing, we still ask,
We still dream, we still hope.
For a different day without pressures or fasts
without fear and without tears and for our loved ones
to return to the nest.
We still sing, we still ask,
We still dream, we still hope.
