October 7th. One Year
One Year
One year since October 7th.
One year since we’ve all awakened
On year since the morning of horrors
That decimated our safe tomorrows
Once year, it’s hard to believe
The world has hardened, we all grieve
One year our soldiers keep fighting
One year, candles we keep lighting.
One year our hostages taken
One year our hearts still breaking
One year a million tears
One year, a million fears
One year we are growing stronger
One year, we listen no longer
To lies devised, twisted rhetoric
One year, we wait, still, for the end of it
One year, we maintain our faith
One year the enemies we invade
One year, still not feeling safe
One year we continue our crusade
One year we hold on to our heart
One year could have torn us apart
One year we’ve been in the dark
One year, we still hold a spark
One year we won’t let them win
One year, they will pay for their sins
One year we will break the oppression
One year, we fight the aggression
One year, with God on our side
One year, we pray they are alive
One year, we fight for peace
One year, may our hostages be released
I truly believe God has a higher plan
Perhaps unseen from where we stand
In our hearts we know the goodness of our soul
We will defend our people, our faith and our home.
One year…
