Light

We died in the night
Humanity’s quarrels
Caused by spite

The world
Seems to crumble
In our hands
The earth now seems like
An uninhabitable land

It seems like
Our happiness will end
And darkness will be rushing
Inside our hearts instead

When it seemed 
All was against me,
I looked to the sky

The sky,
glamoured by the stars
Encased bright

No matter what 
happened in our world,
They always show light

They sing their own song
In spite of the music,
No, quarrels,
Of our world
And then I realized

The stars, they shine
When we are broken
Our fate 
Captured bright

Our tears
They fall
When we are hopeless
But we
Will live
To see the 
light

There’s light inside us
One day it will shine so bright
Everything in the world
Will be a clean sight

We will see the light
