When I close my eyes
My mind takes me places
I can only dream
When I close my eyes
My mind takes me places
I can only dream
resilient
in ruthless devastation
yet again we rise
to be a witness
of persevering courage
and forgiving heart
that we too shall rise
brick by brick, each of us can
tear down cemented walls
in spite of the loss
a calm quells the violent storm
Sun rises again
many before us
showed us that Freedom’s way
was paved with love
and untainted faith
that a new day would dawn
lit by a peace lamp
though we may stumble
soaked and riddled with pain
still we rise again
