My Village

Here is a new one that I wrote straight after my last post Inspiration Is All In The Words. Big city lights in my village tonight, that sentence just entered my head as I finished that post. See I told you my own writing inspired me..

I am not going to tell you to much about my meaning behind this song and you know why from the same post but I hope you like it.

My Village

Big city lights in my village tonight
Trying to take over and I don’t know why
Fighting a war that they don’t understand
Won’t you please come and take them away

Ooh they make me suffer
Yea they think they’re right
Ooh they do not know me
Not nothing about my life

With their guns and their violence
They make me scream
Shaking in silence
Trying to get back to my peace
Leave us alone you don’t understand
Won’t you please take them away

Big city lights in our village tonight
Trying to take over and we don’t know why
Fighting a war they will never win
Won’t you please tell them to go home

Ooh they really hurt me
Yea why do they fight
Ooh won’t you tell me
Why they are here tonight

My friends falling down in front of my eyes
Hit by the bullets from their guns
Won’t someone please help me to stop the blood
It’s staining my clothes and I feel so cold

Big city lights are going out in my life
Fading like the beautiful sun
Laying in the dirt I take my last breath
I hope you are proud of what you’ve done

Big city lights killed my village tonight
Marching on without a backward glance
I can never hope to be me, gone for eternity
Destroyed and trampled on, but now free

Did you get what you came for
Big city lights
Are you happier than before
Now you have taken my life
