Lyrics of echo in the distance by Tan Dun

Cries in a distance

Can’t stop the tremble

I’m just awaiting my turn

Hiding will never

Save me forever

The guns gonna get me for sure

Dear God I pray why won’t you be my friend

Come to me and take my hand

Like mama would say

Everything will be okay

All I hear is 321

The scream from the guns

And then 1by1

No one gets to run

Someone’s dad or mom

Sister, brother and son

No...no...

All I feel is 123

My tears start to bleed

Smell of roses on my feet

I feel sore...

I fall...

I call...

I crawl...
