| The plaza in the village | |
| where mission bells used to ring | |
| is now crumbled to a pile of stench and ruin | |
| even the swallows have vanished | |
| no longer return every spring | |
| all the blossoms are buried | |
| 'neath the waste | |
| out of the shadows grow hatred | |
| along the corrider crawls fear | |
| crushed by the promise of hope | |
| that never returned | |
| watched with a hawk's trained eye | |
| the trees grow silent fruit | |
| 'neath a suffering sky | |
| those who have stayed, keep a flame | |
| in memory of the fallen | |
| and pass on the old rites despite the risk | |
| but many more have left here | |
| on mended broken wings | |
| turn to see your reaction | |
| a tear drop fills your eye | |
| but you protest not to give up or give in | |
| heading straight for the wreckage | |
| picking up a shovel and a hoe | |
| start putting back the bricks one by one | |
| numbers come out of the woodwork | |
| curious to see the rebirth | |
| above the swollen clouds | |
| a strange sound fills the air | |
| a silence never heard | |
| falling like blessed rain | |
| and the swallows return | |
| as the mission bells ring |
