One Million

We're all here now,
Fighting for our lives,
And I see the one million,
Drops of blood being spilled,
Flowing like a red river,
Screams of terror,
Cutting through my heart,
Piercing the night like a dagger.
And yet the world goes on.
With one million lives ending every day,
One million fearing separate ways,
One million lives of carefree play,
Knowing blood has been spilled,
On the ground that we lay.

We are trapped here together,
Without a clue on what to do,
And I see the one million,
Lights from the stars,
Swimming in their eyes,
Fears of death,
Of being gone,
Reflected in the night.
And yet the world goes on.
Knowing we have confirmed one million fears,
One million lives ended of those we hold dear,
One million hearts we have touched and seared,
Knowing we have cried,
On the world that touched tears.
