'Daring To Believe'

 


Come, take my hand in time and space


Climb aboard in faith and grace


Discarding all pain and fretfulness


Daring to believe

 


No child with hollow eyes of dread


Full of more than crumbs of bread


Tears of joy not helplessness


Daring to believe

 


No crooked legs and joints with pain


Extended bellies so profane


Only tears of gratefulness


Daring to believe


 
No hatred due to shape of eyes


Nor tint of skin to so despise


Religions joined in respectfulness


Daring to believe


 
No more marches for a cause


We now see souls instead of flaws


Man hand in hand in alikeness


Daring to believe

 

 
War is done ... we have finally learned


The losses too brutal for all concerned


Many heads hanging in regretfulness


Daring to believe


 
Step inside ... prepare to launch


Like a child be brave and staunch


Free from strife and agedness


Daring to believe

 

 
Feel the pull from the past


Return it shouts ... this dream won't last


Surely you see its aimlessness


Daring to believe

 


Ah ... but forward we all must stride


To fail to soar we can't abide


Can't you feel the airlessness


Daring to believe
