In this struggle

 

Are we dead or alive

Freedom is not existence

It's why we survive

Shake our grief

Hold on to belief

 

It can't enslave us forever

There is relief

No change will be permanent

Our strength enduring Bright incandescent

Take a chance before we fall

Backs against the wall

And the sun will rise

Dawn will break through the blackest night

Distant in its glow

This shall pass be still and know

And there's heartache

As we search to connect

Even just for a moment

Pretend We're content

There is love

Know that we are one

We are all in this together

Weather the storm

Look into each other's eyes

Make the connection before it dies

It will all disseminate

As we consummate

And the sun will rise

Dawn will break through the blackest night

Distant in its glow

This shall pass be still and know

Is it hopeless

Will the fear take control

Don't succumb to the numbing

Sting of defeat

Take this hate

Let the bile stagnate

Hoist the head of Goliath

Bask in its grace

Stars realign in the sky

Glaciers will melt and the oceans rise

Waves will come crashing ashore

But withstand the roar

And the sun will rise

Dawn will break through the blackest night

Distant in its glow

This shall pass be still and know
