I Believed

I believed,
I saw peace rise from the ground
breathing his disease over the world.

and love, love
danced her tune over hate
mutilating him deep into hell.

and people turned,
seeing man's true colors, praising
their countries for lasting peace.

Jesus wept.
He saw his earth unite into his dream
all men can see.

and love and peace
pledged to walk the earth carrying
their message throughout eternity.
