The sirens won't stop
The children are crying
Begging - mommy please don't go
The violent tugs
And the babies arms open for just one more hug

And the bad man is gone now
There's no more fighting for your life
No more pretending like everything is going to be alright
It's not okay what he did
And its not okay what he said

If you need to stop and breathe
Just close your eyes
Block out the noises
The hate and lies
Just inhale deep

I know it doesn't seem like it today
But everything will be alright someday
Maybe not tomorrow or ten days after that
But one day when you're least expecting it
The day when you don't even realize that you're not fighting to hold onto your life
