Back in the Days (the Flower)

Marco Buono
Language: English




Somewhere in the future, a child finds a thing
Brings it to its grandpa and asks what it is

And he smiles, looks down sadly and tries to explain
»It’s a flower. We had plenty, but today there are no more.«

Back in the days when we all had a chance and we blew it
Fighting each other in a War, which was wrong and we knew it
We should have said: »No! No! No! No! No! We don’t do it!«

The child is wondering how this all could happen to the world
So it asks the grandpa for the reason of it all

And he nods, looks up angry and starts to explain:
»Greedy people with much power lead us all into the end.«

Back in the days when we all had a chance and we blew it
Fighting each other in a War, which was wrong and we knew it
We should have said: »No! No! No! No! No! We don’t do it!«

And the child takes the flower and plants it in the ground
It shall grow, become a symbol until more of it will be found

Back in the days when we all had a chance and we blew it
Fighting each other in a War, which was wrong and we knew it
We should have said: »No! No! No! No! No! We don’t do it!«
