Fireworks light up the sky
But it wouldn't be as delightful
If it were every day
Fireworks scatter, burst, sizzle, dazzle
But it wouldn't be as wonderful
If it rained down on your brothers and sisters
The lightshow brings out a smile
A sense of wonderment in every kids face
A momentary escape from the ordinary
Spectacular's the word on everyone's mouth
My thoughts switch back to gun fire
Only seen in CNN via a 21" TV
And I can only imagine the pain and anguish
Of a frightened child
The ordinary is all he longs for
As missiles crash and burn
Nothing's on anyone's mouth
The roaring lightshow that is fireworks
Its the last thing on a child's mind
When he can't hear a thing
Deafened by the thunderous
When he can't see a thing
Blinded by the wrathful
When he can't feel a thing
Killed by those who seek peace
