The Family Song

When the walls of the families fall down
stone hearts melt away
When the walls of the families fall down
troubles will not stay

Even when the dark clouds grow
Our wills shall not be broken
Even with the storms around
Our peace will not be shaken

Children watch from soulless towers
for the fields to play in
Brothers fight against their own
sisters just like orphans

Fathers cut down blocks of strife
burn them into pieces
Mothers watch the rising flames
tears flow into rivers
