The Sun Shall Rise

The sun shall rise a thousand times
Thousands of tears erase all crimes.
Forces of nature carve mountains from stone.
Are we all strong enough only flesh and bones.

In time lies the secret of our souls.
Seeping into cracks and filling holes.
The light shines down revealing to all.
It covers everything both big and small.

Forgiveness rains down from the sky.
On the wings of doves peace shall fly.
The world will join together as one.
The light reveals who we have become.

In the end all time shall stop.
I see across this mountain top.
To the life in the valley below,
Sunlight provides so all shall grow.
