"How Can I Sleep" - poem

How can I sleep when the streets are all burning
How can I love when it seems all hope is gone.
We ask but don't know and still we seek hope.
There is love in us all and it must never go.

Dance with me, Paris
I love you forever
Dance with me now
while we hide all our tears.

How can I sleep when the children are dying
How can I love when it seems they're all gone.
We ask but don't know and still we will find them.
In our children, our love, the hope never ends.

Dance with me, Paris
I love you forever
Dance with me now
while we hide all our tears.

I remember your laughs, the joy in your faces
I remember your smiles as I fumbled for words.
You helped me then and I would help now.
With all love in my heart, I do what I can.

Dance with me, Paris
I love you forever
Dance with me now
while we hide all our tears.

We'll hear no revenge, this is not the time
The children are crying and fear for the dark
They need all our love and freely with we give it
We are all France and there we are one.

Dance with me, Paris
I love you forever
Dance with me now
while we hide all our tears.
Dance with me now
while we hide all our tears.
