When the Sirens Fade [Verse 1] There’s a mother by the window, Counting footsteps in the rain, Holding on to faded pictures, Trying not to speak his name. Down the street the houses tremble, Dust is falling from the sky, And a child asks, “When will morning come?” She just turns away to cry. [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere a door is left wide open, Somewhere a light is burning low, Someone is waiting for somebody Who may never come back home. [Chorus] When the sirens fade into the night, Who will bring the broken hearts to life? Who will gather all the dreams That disappeared beneath the smoke? We are people, we are human, We were never born to fight, When the sirens fade into the night, Let there be peace, let there be light. [Verse 2] There’s an old man on the pavement, With a suitcase by his side, Everything he ever owned Was left somewhere he could not hide. Children walk without their laughter, Strangers share a little bread, And the roads are filled with shadows Of the ones who now are dead. [Pre-Chorus] Somewhere a father holds a letter, Somewhere a sister waits alone, Somewhere a photograph is all That’s left to call a person home. [Chorus] When the sirens fade into the night, Who will bring the broken hearts to life? Who will gather all the dreams That disappeared beneath the smoke? We are people, we are human, We were never born to fight, When the sirens fade into the night, Let there be peace, let there be light. [Bridge] No child should learn the sound of thunder From a sky that brings them fear, No mother should bury her tomorrow, No one should disappear. Different languages, different faces, Different names beneath the sun, But every tear falls just the same, And every heart beats as one. [Instrumental / Guitar Solo] [Verse 3] Maybe one day through the ruins, Little flowers will appear, Someone will rebuild a doorway, Someone will return to hear Children laughing in the distance, Not the sound of guns again, And the hands that once were trembling Will reach out and hold a friend. [Final Chorus] When the sirens fade into the night, Let the broken hearts remember life. Let the empty streets hear voices, Let the fallen not be lost. We are people, we are human, And our love is worth the fight— When the sirens fade into the night, Let there be peace, Let there be light. [Outro] Let there be peace… Let there be light… For every child still waiting For a quiet morning light. Let there be peace… Let there be light… When the sirens fade… Into the night.
