Beside the old tree

The trompets so far, so far in the distance,
too far to know that danger remains,
landmines were buried beside the soldiers,
covered by grassy land.

Don't play beside the old mighty tree,
watch every step you take, you can't see
landmines still buried under the surface,
ready to take your life

Now after the war they try to restore,
to rebuild the town, there's hope in their hearts.
Building a future, so life continues,
but mines are everywhere.

Don't play...

Springtime has come, one year has past
and nature, she wears a wonderful dress.
Strangers who never asked what has happened
won't know, can't even guess.

Don't play...

Stars in the sky and no one is out,
no piercing scream will disturb the night.
Dream on good children, dream of the day
when you'll be in peace outside.

You'll play beside the old mighty tree,
and you will dance around - you'll be free
to run through the fields and climb up the hills,
when danger has left our town...

(Wild Silk)
