lyrics

I always thought if this world is fair.
Then why is the wailing and despair still here,when the peace and prosperity is there?
That day,I took our last hope,tried to find the answer.
Opened the door and saw an old man sitting on the old wooden chair.

Something weird pervaded the living room.Nothing shifted but a television flared.
Nothing’s changed,nothing’s moved.Just a few faces looked at me in no mood.
Crowded room, but I still could smell the solitude.
No one wanted to be broken, they wanted to find their inner peace.
He was trying to find it, hence reaching his hands to it.
Searching for something.Something he can carry in the story built up by him.

Is this the house of soulless? We won’t forget.
Are we standing on the land of hopeless? The time we failed.
Even though things are now different, And now we rise.
If I choose to stop hoping in this world, do I exist?

I still remember the decades and those stories she told me.
I still remember how tough she taught me to be ,I know that’s something I need.
I won’t forget the days he raised me up in those moments I fell down.
I won’t forget the hard times he guided me through and the strength he gave me.

Should I stay or should I leave? I know the coward is someone I shouldn’t be.
“Break off the chains caused by our failure.”
Things we grab desperately in the shattered dream.
“Rise up!”
I’m not a man who can be put down easily.
“Head up and stand,just try to believe.”
“It is not that hard to breathe.”

All I am,or can be.I owe it to my family.
Mom said no more peaceful sleep.In my heart,is misery.
No more beautiful melody coming from Father’s whistling.
Something might be different from the life we used to lead.
From the shelter that raised me.That’s all the things I have to carry.
No,I won’t follow this stream,not only for them,but for my own peace.
