Salvatio L

Salvatio L

(A lone female voice sings at a slow tempo. A lone voice whispers)

Some may say 
There is no hope

But if you pay 
Angels to dream

Each night
With prayer

For no reason or season
To cope

Look up 
To the clouds
And pray

Someday

God will turn around
So you can be found

So the world can change
With just you

One person at a time
So your internal wars can stop

With no more pain 
Standing 

Crying in the rain
On the firing range

Some may say 
Belief in something 
Is crazy 

For it's sometimes hard to believe

But that's the power of dreams

Believing what you can't see

In the Great In-Between 

So put that fear away 
Starting today

Life is just a stage
Let love and hope

Write your play
And you'll be ok

And just remember

Some may say 
There is no hope

But if you 
Pay angels to dream

Each night
With prayer

For no reason or season
To cope

Look up at the clouds
And pray

And someday

There'll be no more pain 
Standing 

Crying in the rain
On the firing range

For God will turn around
And you'll be found
