MONATIK - And Even If I Only Have One Day Left (ART Defence charity tour)
And even if I only have one day left
Know that people like me have a whole life ahead
There is no turning back
The house suddenly turned into a tent
And they will not forget those eyes
Covered from your hands with an evil tattoo "Z"
You yourself will remember it again
Go away!
Because you are not so scary anymore
Today, for the first time in days that seem like years, I am smiling
And remember my smile
Remember forever, in a dream and awake
Until you slowly disappear from loneliness in deep waters
And I'm standing
I look at you and wonder
How low can you fall
That children draw your killer-birds
I saw it and you saw it too
I apologize if I am suddenly dramatic
But your mouth is not honest, to be honest, it doesn't work anymore
I'm sure you're being dramatic now
It's time for you to go
Go away!
Look what you took from me
what did you do
You destroyed cities in me, bridges in me
It killed the people in me
And I'm standing
I'm dreaming even further
And I can clearly imagine how everything came to life on my land
How kind souls embrace each other with happiness
I can hear them laughing
How they forget everything that scared them
I see children running in the park
And it wasn't a siren, but a school bell
The children all sat down at the desk
They started a lesson in art
I see people going to the movies and concerts
They sing in unison, together
So the scars on the soul and body hinder them
Deep, the ones you left behind
But they dance and jump higher and higher
The pain disappears
You know
I see a mother hugging her son
I see how there's no more fire in the cities
I feel how pain, suffering, tears disappear and strength is born
I feel the fear disappearing
I see people returning from foreign lands
On the land they loved so much since childhood
I hear airplanes flying in the sky
They are not scary, because they fly peacefully to the ground
The ground where peace, goodness, and unity shine
I hear the birds singing
I see the sun rising from the horizon
I see cities waking up and everyone going about their business
Mouth plans are shared
Everyone is at their favorite job
I can clearly hear friends loudly discussing their day in a pub
Not at the frontline
I hear fresh and so funny stand-up
And people wipe their tears from laughter
Carelessly
I see the tanks disappearing
Annoying traffic jams appear
Thoughts rush into a dance
And dreams about the future turn to sketches
I hear a summer, it writes its poems to us, beautiful and warm again
And I don't hear the disputes that were before
All around is real, loud, a silence that is loved to the point of pain in the soul
A lifetime won't be enough to describe everything I believe.
Especially a day
We lived well. We will live even better
I really believe that I will see it
And even if I only have one day left
Know that people like me have a whole life ahead of them
Do you think they will forgive you?
