missing yesterday |
Why Oh Why Oh Why YellowRose 19 linesThey went on their final journey that day with heaviness in their hearts Their odds of survival were known only by the spirits maps and charts Remembering things were different and freedom once was theirs Now their homes are getting smaller and food is getting scarce They were a simple people for generations and truly loved the land They never wasted anything that came into their resourceful hands The air water and land was cherished by them every day Animals were not play things but major parts as they pray Trying hard to change their ways and silencing their stories Almost completely erased them today from our memories There are some that remember these forgotten ones The wood on the trees was wet as they were forced to walk away Every leaf carried dewy tears knowing this was the final day Ask the eagle who hears the echoes and searches the mountains high Ask the owl who only speaks the truth asking so sadly why oh why oh why When we see the descendants as they longingly stare into the distance Searching the horizon for all of those that were lost and left behind Take the time to finally look deeply for the constant tears that fill their eyes |
