Realm of Light Exists

The sign of a cross lives in these eyes 
where our sins and those of others 
weigh us down deeply burdened inside 
unspoken truth from behind the curtains 
bound by silence to avoid war sleeps

Forgiveness carries the torch forward 
warmly flickering with freedom and peace 
healing powers internal victories fought 
where love forever holds it's hand out

With caring gentleness cured by justice 
wishing no harm to those whom hate purity existing 
there is good in every soul to be found unique 
born from each individual choice

We all reach that path in choosing direction 
depends which side we join forces with 
as it forges our way into the future
