Rushing Water
Though water rushes by
She can’t seem to enjoy it
For in the roar of the water
She hears something else:
The fighting
She can’t seem to escape it
No matter how hard she tries
Everyday she wonders
If things will change
If things will get better
But they haven’t yet
And she’s starting to lose faith
What if things never change
If it’s like this forever
If the fighting never ends
The water might be rushing by
But all she hears is fighting
She can’t seem to enjoy it
For in the roar of the water
She hears something else:
The fighting
She can’t seem to escape it
No matter how hard she tries
Everyday she wonders
If things will change
If things will get better
But they haven’t yet
And she’s starting to lose faith
What if things never change
If it’s like this forever
If the fighting never ends
The water might be rushing by
But all she hears is fighting
