Honest Are We, Embolden Truths Dare We To Face

Honest Are We, Embolden Truths Dare We To Face.

Saddest are we that attempt bending Light
clash within ourselves, when all hope seems lost
unfathomable, yet we strive with might,
to defeat loss and Love at any cost!

Truest are we that dare in seeking to learn
while world in heavy chains so firmly binds
dare we to pray and our redemption earn,
forgiving sins, to heal our wounded minds!

Bravest are we that our lives truly live
decide to stay and not retreat in flight
offer up shattered hearts to mercy give,
even tho' success may not be in sight!

Honest are we, embolden Truths dare we to face.
Weakest are we, thinking True Love we can replace.
