Emerge

Posted on 10.22.24 under Uncategorized

Run and hide

A candle in the dark

There’s a storm outside my door
The long cold night descends
Thousands of miles away
The senseless wars never end

Why, why

The battles rage but I stand aloof
My soul they can’t coerce
Though bullets fly missiles explode
I won’t be thrown off course

We’ll keep hope alive
For you

Please keep the fires burning bright
Through the whispered horrors of the night
And shield the dying candle of hope
Emerge from darkness into the light

Loose chains of guilt, cannot restrain
The lure of amoral gain
Greed’s hunger feasts on precious dreams
And turns them into schemes

Why, why

Still I run and you hide
In the light we cannot see
Through the dark, we will find our way
As the twilight fades to day

We’ll keep hope alive
For you

Please keep the fires burning bright
Through the whispered horrors of the night
And shield the dying candle of hope
Emerge from darkness into the light

A candle in the dark
