Celi - A second 1939 Lyrics

In 2024
She asked if the seat was free
I said, yes of course
And she told me her story

Born in 1926
The only girl in a family of six
Her father died in war
Which shook her Mama to the core

She worries about the years to come
She knows what this country could become
We need to stop this now
We all have to take a vow
That we won't stand by
And all just deny
That this could become
A second 1939
A second 1939
A second 1939

In 1955
She married, tried to live her live
By now she has children
And those have children too

Forward to 1961
The war was over, but a wall had been done
Her family ripped apart
Only kilometers apart

She worries about the years to come
She knows what this country could become
We need to stop this now
We all have to take a vow
That we won't stand by
And all just deny
That this could become
A second 1939
A second 1939
A second 1939

Cause this time, we can't say
We didn't know any other way
Please stop this in time
I don't want a second 1939
I don't want a second 1939
Oh, I don't want a second 1939

I worry about the years to come
I know what this country could become
We need to stop this now
We all have to take a vow
That we won't stand by
And all just deny
That this could become
A second 1939
A second 1939
A second 1939
