At a Time Like This
at a time like this
there are no words
just the feeling of the feeling
alive
in all its' beauty and terror
in all the awe and wonder
we find
ourselves
once again
perplexed
by the science of love
cowering
the concept of death
at a time like this
we are the words
the speech of a speechwriter's pen
written
in all its' truth and error
in all the breath and power
we find
ourselves
once again
moving
mountain masses by faith
yet cutting
our own brothers down
at a time like this
the words are here
in flesh, in blood, filled with spirit
breathing
in all its' passion and fire
in all its life and freedom
we find
ourselves
new in form
loving
the ones who feel no love
and gracing
the world through Your eyes
