The Song In Our Hearts Poem by James Mallum

There's a song in our hearts
Who will sing along
If only we could dance
But we are too busy on the run

Let us stay a little longer
And let our fears be gone
In that place we desire
But all our fortune burnt

There's a cry in every voice
That dared to sing our song
If only we could pause
And try to right our wrongs

Let us call each other brother
Just as it was before
When the only big fire
Was under the cooking pot

Where are we now
Where are the fields that once grazed cows
Bloodied and reeking with a stench so foul
Where are they now
Where are the young men that have the land to plough
Worried and seething with a vengeful frown
Murdering sleep and troubling peace

Where are we now
As we sing...
The song in our hearts
