What They Fought For

Symphony's whispers tread lightly behind me Currents of bullets sway at my feet Head between mists of arrows Here I stand before a cloud of dreams and aspirations Torn between hemispheres of sound Dancing my fingers across bronze badges Country colours stroke the cold wind Nestled in my pocket lay fathers before me Bullets lay behind glass with nothing to say They fought for my freedom and my breath It's time I dedicate my tears to their blood Footprints linger where bodies lay to rest Tear stained letters flying over sea shores As the crescent moon boomerangs its way across the ocean And as letters were like bullets to crying widows Some say the oceans were formed by mothers tears As burrows became grave sites Where badges became names And where countries were worlds Thats where they stood for our victory Battle lines were erased when we became free Never forget this unstained courage.
