I pace alone

Restless steps resounding in my ears

Screaming sounds of the world passing by

My shadow watching me pace

I pace alone�.

Relentless time marching on fast

Cries of hatred and violence gripping

Fires smouldering and fanning flames

I pace alone�

Young faces looking up at me asking

Empty stomachs and wasting bodies

Wanting to join the ranks of warriors

 I pace alone�.

The parched desert filled with vultures

The rocky mountains barren and dry

The trembling seas churning on and on

I pace alone�.

Will I always pace alone doomed

Silent footsteps joining me serenely

A hand slipping in mine holding it

 Hope resurging faith returning

She will never pace alone

We will never pace alone

Together�

No hatred can stop this world

The flowers will bloom, the youth smile
