I wait for a day

When mothers won’t weep

When gloom won’t engulf them

Because by their side their kids will be

 

I wait for a day

When kids won’t cry

When they won’t shed tears

Because their parents are being killed

 

I wait for a day

When fathers won’t have to defend

Use their hands or go to court

Fight for what is rightly theirs

 

I wait for a day

When all of us would live as one

Brothers and sisters

One family in the name of love

 

I wait for a day

When we won’t put on masks

When we won’t have to pretend

When we would just be ourselves

 

I wait for that day
