about

Radical religious rules forbid people to have contact to their family. A true, a sad story. Religion should be a healer and not a devider.

lyrics

She's starring out of the window
The garden lays in mist's claw
Seems that light will get here nevermore

Her husband's gone now
Her son lives on
In a picture of a soldier
And a couple of field post letters, well
That is really long gone now but a wound that never heals
She hasn't heard of her daughter since twelve and a half years
She is living her own life now in her own kind of community
And the lady hopes that she's happy

"If I could just talk to you for a minute!
Just to know, you are happy, just to know it's all right.
And if I could just see you for a minute and strike your head like I used to
When you were still my child. But you don't answer me"

She' still starring out of the window
A little rain pours on wet ground
Like her sadness, it adds to the tears of all those years

Who wanders she's embittered
Hates war and religion?
Now at least she's got a reason
She's got a real good reason
There's nothing she can chance, and this wound will never heel
While she won't understand the sacrifices for the love of this personal good – whatever
"Mary, can't you hear me, can it be the right way, to be silent where answers are demanded?"

"If I could just talk to you for a minute!
Just to know, you are happy, just to know it's all right.
And if I could just see you for a minute and strike your head like I used to
When you were still my child. But you don't answer me"

So you preach you know god
How can you cause pain like that?
So you preach you know god
How can you cause pain like that?

She's starring out of the window
The stars they guide her longings
What remains is silent waiting
