There’s a man holding his son
Rocking him like a pendulum while
The tears rolled down his cheeks
See the billowing smoke roll through the air
And the fire dancing here and there
Hear men’s desperate yells and women’s frantic screams
He’s holding his hand, choking out a lullaby
Dust and debris floating all around
No reason to calm down, he’s gone
And now there’s blood on the lawn
Pull him close to your chest
Tell him there’s no time to rest
Tell him you love him
Don’t let go
Somewhere the waves are beating against the shore
Somewhere children are playing in the sun
Somewhere people are laughing, but not here
Cause there’s a man holding his son
Rocking him like a pendulum while
The tears rolled down his cheeks
See the anguish etched on his face
Contrasted by the peaceful being
Wrapped tightly in a father’s loving embrace
