Memories
Flooding the minds of millions
Memories of a forgotten soldier
Whose grave is now covered with flowers

Memories
Flooding the minds of women
Memories of a forgotten choice
Now lying in a grave

Memories
Coming to the minds of teachers
Memories of that day
With so many lives lost

Memories
Coming to the minds of soldiers
Memories of those two blasts
That devastated our world

These are cries
Cries from a fallen nation
So go ahead
Cry
So cry
Cry
To God.....
