When something is gone, we dare it to appear again
Desperation all around but our feelings still remain
We crib, we cry, we shout, we fight for the pain
So much loss but our hope keeps us sane
Is there a chance of getting back the lost time in some way?
Do we really want to? Can we not let it go away?
The only choice should be to have a normal life as before
Meanwhile we keep waiting for it to disappear.

The streets have never been so empty
Can you hear the children playing and laughing?
Or the hawkers with their goodies shouting and selling?
Behind closed doors, the words we share with each other are only pity.
We hope the wheel will turn around
That will be our time to rebound
Everything happens for a reason, we say
Each of us know what we had to pay
Now prepare to welcome guests at your door
Open up without worry, without fear
Meanwhile, we keep waiting for it to disappear, never to reappear.
