I look back on the memories we&rsquo;ve had sometimes ago 
When life was free for every one of us, both young and old 
When hiding in dilapidated buildings wasn&rsquo;t a survival technique 
And death was from nature, not a man-made epidemic

When our young ones were free to go to school, grow up and become men who&rsquo;ll rule 
And the dead sons of our land weren&rsquo;t having their cadavers along the road-path 
When our daughters were whole to be married 
And not hampered like now as they have to be carried

I&rsquo;ll look back on the time happiness was never far from our sides 
And joy wasn&rsquo;t gotten from seeing our enemies die 
I&rsquo;ll look back on the building up front 
With so many moments had therein, good and bad, all that we hold fond

I&rsquo;ll remember that fahir was in us too 
But now, as soon as the day brings itself new 
I&rsquo;ll see that the brother I&rsquo;ve had my whole life is gone 
To his end of time at the mercy of a sniper&rsquo;s shot

I&rsquo;ll go to the death-counter, and see another sun&rsquo;s been decimated 
And another light has just been put off 
All for what? 
The land, 
Power, 
Money, 
Or religion?

Another 12-Year&rsquo;ld has just been laid to rest 
With his mother wailings as the day before yesterday, he laid on her chest, 
Promised her &ldquo;I will grow up, become a feared militant and put the wars to an end&rdquo; 
But, he has just been pushed off of earth

We had holidays 
Now only morning days 
Yet as the dust fills our faces 
We&rsquo;ll hold on to our faith

For someday, we shall all together, say 
&ldquo;It was all yesterday&rdquo; 
So for this, I&rsquo;ll always remember us this way!
