On the International Day of the Disappeared
this is our tribute to the thousands of people who disappear every year
due to armed conflict, violence, natural disasters or on the migration route.
Son, I am looking for you.
I don’t give up.
Until today I have been searching for my elder sister.
I am still searching for my husband and son who have gone missing.
I will not give up.
Up until today, we still haven’t found him.
We are still looking for him.
I have climbed highest mountains
I have run through the fields
Only to be with you
I have run
I have crawled
I have scaled these city walls
These city walls
Only to be with you
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
I have kissed honey lips
Felt the healing in her fingertips
It burned like fire
I was burning inside her
I have spoke with the tongue of angels
I have held the hand of a devil
It was warm in the night
I was cold as a stone
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
When will you know… that I’m suffering?
When will you be able to listen to these songs?
My heart is getting weak without you
I'm still looking for you everywhere
East and west, here and there
I am seeking to see you again only for seconds
But you are far away in a strange place
I will see you one day again and end this suffering days
I believe in the Kingdom Come
Then all the colors will bleed into one
Bleed into one
But yes, I'm still running
You broke the bonds
And you loosed the chains
Carried the cross of my shame
Oh my shame, you know I believe it
But I still haven't found what I'm looking for
