Rainy Day


all the trouble and worry and all your dismay
were buried on a rainy day in May
oh, such a rainy day...
but the lilacs were smiling and singin' to me
about all the things you just couldn't see
you refused to see...

"too little too late" and "that's just my fate"
you used to say every day of your life
what a strife in your soul...
you saw craters and dead horses lying around
hopes and villages burnt to the ground
while I was safe and sound...

you saw people being torn apart
by shards which were born afar
children who were there before
suddenly don't breathe no more
the horrors that you still recall
the deafening silence of the war

and I'm not the one to criticize
how battles should be won
but I want to tell you
that happiness is for all to share
happiness is for all to share

all the trouble and worry and all your dismay
were buried on a rainy day in May
and the lilacs were smiling and singing to me
you could've been...
happy
