Another day flies, another brother dies,

Another mother haunts her home with her own cries,

Another man falls to another chant and call

From another racist neighbour behind another thin wall.

Another sleeps well through another night of hell,

Another tranquilliser and no one can tell

That yet another dream was not what it seemed,

More a paper veil for a hollow of screams.

Another sister flies from the building in the skies

Clutching another catalogue of clothes she couldn’t buy.

Another suicide, another broken inside,

Another written letter for the parents to hide.

Another dream shatters as another man batters

Hope from the eyes of a woman that matters.

Another crack alarm, another track in the arm,

Another vein hides from another shot of calm.

Every day living, every day I give in,

Every day I wake up to a new beginning.
