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
How fragile we are how fragile we are
This song reminds me of this days. People suffering and fighting here in Italy, China and all around the world against this fuc**ng virus.
Reminding us with all our technology..money..indifference.. How FRAGILE we are in presence of Nature.
My beautiful 17 year old cousin just died and I was searching for a song to soothe my broken heart. This is the one. Thank you Sting. Life is indeed fragile, fleeting and so incredibly precious. God speed you back into the loving arms of the Divine my darling.
When my wife left me in 2001 without warning in 2001, devastation doesn’t begin to describe that time. 19 years later, two children that I would die for, a wife that has stood by me, I often wonder if pain is nothing more than a door we walk through to a better place in time. Grateful.
