Walking on a Sunny Day
	Broken shoes and broken lives Walking down the stairs Daughters husbands sons and wives Walking down the stairs Amid the stink and smoke and fear Walking down the stairs The grimy faces wet with tears Walking down the stairs The weak and heavy stop and sit Walking down the stairs Most determined not to quit Walking down the stairs Desperate faces want to live Walking down the stairs hold their loved ones, want to give Walking down the stairs their hearts again, renew their vows Walking down the stairs kiss those lips, if time allows My god, how many more stairs? A shudder shakes the floor below Walking down the stairs and that’s the moment when they know Walking down the stairs Shouts and crying from above Walking down the stairs One or two begin to shove Walking down the stairs Smell of sweat rank in the gloom Walking down the stairs Shuffling ghosts awaiting doom Walking down the stairs The stairway buckles with a lurch Walking down the stairs Press on, grim, ignore the hurt Walking down the stairs Walking on a sunny day Walking down the stairs Keep on moving, come what may Walking down the stairs
