Pieces of Life

Occupation is Over

It’s been a long, hard war

Too many tears were shed

And after peaceful moments

Always came a moment of dread

But now the invading sadness

Is quickly running away

We’ve been through so much pain, but now

We can finally breathe, we can finally say:

The occupation is over

It’s gone on way too long

But now the occupation is over

We’ve finally won so let’s sing our songs

The white fluffy clouds drift through the sky

They look like sheep, but they’re really rain

Just waiting, waiting, waiting to fall

Ready to drop and relieve the pain

It’s been three days, but this joy

Never seems to grow old

No longer are those tears falling

Life did get better, just like we were told

Because the occupation is over

Now we can run around like we used to

The occupation is over

So we can do what we want to do.

Occupation is over and done

Now we can finally see the sun

Occupation is over and done

And now we know, we know we’ve won.
