A song for the times

Sting - Fragile


If blood will flow, when flesh and steel are one
Drying in the color, of the evening sun
Tomorrow's rain, will wash the stains away
But something in our minds
will always stay

Perhaps this final act was meant
To clinch a lifetime's argument
That nothing comes from violence
and nothing ever could
For all those born beneath an angry star
Lest we forget how fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are

On and on the rain will fall
Like tears from a star
like tears from a star
On and on the rain will say
How fragile we are
How fragile we are


this is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard. tells us how valuable our lives are, but we dont realize it until they're lost ... at least thats what i think of when i listen to it. the 'true' message/s (not the one that i have in mind) would have to be: how meaningless violence is, how valuable our lives are etc.

Mindless robberies, people getting killed for the wrong reasons, people killing for the wrong reasons, hate crimes, people hurting other with words sigh on and on and on
