Portrait

The time has come to face each other Sister, brother, mother, father It's time to stem the flow of blood Lying frosted on these city walls Burnt out cars in the parking lots Are the tribal symbols of our streets A young recruit still the age of innocence Swears allegiance to his beliefs So give us love and understanding Give us hope that's never ending And to the faithful, now departed May you rest in peace, may you never be forgotten To the children of tomorrow May the final act and triumph of our will Be your walk to freedom A missing face in the family portrait A hoard of memories on the mantle piece Outside a patriotic speech Falls upon the lips of angry men So give us love and understanding Give us hope that's never ending [Chorus:] --- Portrait - Celtus
