Another Day Has Come And Gone – Oleta Adams

Another day has come and gone
Like seasons of the past
And left its mark upon our hearts
A chilling, wintry blast
Those swirling flakes were snowy white
They left a crimson stain
With thousands grieving for the lives
Of loved ones that were slain

And in the distance you could hear
The weeping mothers cry as
Hands were wringing, disbelieving
Pleading…asking “why?”

How could a single tortured soul
When driven to despair
Go spiraling out of control
And catch us unaware?
Some say love makes the world go ’round
It has, it does, it will
But when such passion lose control
The world stands very still

We mourn for all humanity
Whose hearts have turned to stone
All left in loveless deserts
As they wither all alone
We mourn for the lives of the innocence
The daughters, sons and [?]
And won’t forget to celebrate
What little time they had

Another day has come and gone
Like seasons of the past
And left its mark upon our hearts
A chilling, wintry blast
