Resisting, growing Like carnations of the air Against all adversity Waiting, like birds At the high traffic lights Watching the world go by We will be carnations of the air Seeking to resist in the storm From every stormy night A new Sun will rise again Resisting, the elderly Cross the street arm in arm Waiting, like an owner For his pet at night Resisting with love And friendship in a decaying place We will be carnations of the air Seeking to resist in the storm From every stormy night A new Sun will rise again
