My Brothers and Sisters

I smiled today                                                                                              
You have given                                                                                            
New found hope                                                                                            
The courage to speak
Courage to live                                                                                               
To stand and sing                                                                                          
Oh, my brothers and sisters                                                                               
Why have I not seen                                                                                    
Your will to live                                                                                       
Shinning as a prophecy                                                                              
brighter then the noon                                                                                   
and my eyes                                                                                                 
filled to overflowing                                                                                                For What is a face                                                                                     
Without a heart                                                                                            
And what is a life                                                                                     
Without means to share
