Light From Darkness
And we dance near the shimmering
body of water
The moon shone down on us
that night
Darkness splintered by moonlight
In moments of deepest sorrow
Light shines down
The land is still fertile
As are our dreams
From the deepest shadows
Hope - rays of light - comes forth
We won't lose heart
All the obstacles will fade away
If we persist
in our pursuit of peace, joy, and love
Light from darkness
This must be our creed
as we know from experience
We must cling to the light
and the shadows will retreat
from whence they came
