Hope

In all truth we are anything we believe If you see and take away what deceives We are life, angels in disguise We are death, air that’s painted in lies If you feel, right and wrong will be shown If you breathe, limits will reach the unknown We are hope, never deny that we’re here We are loss only when we give into our fear There is light, a source that can never die But in dark it fades and falls from our sky In this realm dark is taking our eyes In this place the light is only denied Genocide, paper made with our blood Selling lies, people fearing and wearing hoods In this time the dark is taking our skies But it's no crime if we ignore every cry I decide life deserves some reprieve Here I stand, with my hope I learn to retrieve Something true, something I only believe If we’re through, at least I will never grieve It is light that will find its peace
