To Hope Again
Once again mankind hopes and gathers
Looking towards sunlight after the worse of days
But now released mankind laughs and sings
The young dance
The old with crinkling wrinkles smile
Yet sleep does not come easily
For the old have seen during the years
Uncertainty created by unstable minds
They have seen the craving of evil men
How they stay quiet and wait ready
To ponce during the dancing days
Living for the bitter coldness of gold
The people who care, hope and love
Those with joy, and hear the future calling
Exalt children, the earth, the expansion of life
They are watching resting quietly
Their funds kept safe as they sit on the sidelines
Check their computers and the news
Watching while the young celebrate
Learn, dream, love, and grow
For they know that evil always survives
And hides in the alleys during the quiet dark
Jealous of joy, resentful of our reveling
Ready to cause pain and deception
And though we may rest, we are ready to
Open our eyes cry out beware and battle again
