Memories

Mehmooda 2002 (Johannesburg)



Let our memories fade away into the night sky
Let it be another unnoticed star
Waiting to be noticed again
 Let the night's fog cover the stars
Not to be seen again until the following night
But surely the sun will dominate the sky one again
Shinning light on all that was dark Promising hope and change
Soon the stars will be your scars
 And the sun will be your savior
And you will watch these stars, not with tears in your eyes
 But with a smile on your face
 Because after every fall is a new beginning
