After All - Donna Burke

After all, there’s a moon

That still shines upon the hillside

And it shines on all the dark and shadowed lands of Man

After all, when the Earth is a great ghost town

Circling around

There’s a moon that still shine upon our shores

That will shine forever more

After all, through the thorns

Through the wastelands we have wandered

Through a world that lies in broken pieces at our feet

After all, there’s a light in the darkest night

Glittering down

There’s a moon that still shines upon our shores

That will shine forever more

See how what’s give, we abuse

See how the eternal, we can lose

See how what’s always there in front of us

Never even makes us curious

To think that

All can disappear, without a trace, erased…

See how the simple becomes confused

See how all beauty is bent and bruised

See how what’s always there in front of us

Never even makes us curious

To think that

Around the bend

Is the end

Where the world will lie in broken pieces at our feet

But after all, there’s a light in the darkest night

Turning us around

There’s a moon that still shines upon our shores

That will shine forever more
